Udupi, 06 Jun 2020: MP Shobha Karandlaje urged Udupi-origin people in Maharashtra to avoid visiting the district in large numbers as the number of Covid-19 cases is going up rapidly in the district, most of them being Mumbai returnees.
Shobha said, “As of now there are sufficient beds to tackle Covid-19 now. But if more people decide to travel to Udupi from Mumbai, arrangements for quarantine would be a challenge.”
It may be recalled that it was Shobha who had urged Karnataka Chief Secretary TM Vijay Bhaskar to allow people to travel from Mumbai to Udupi during the pandemic lockdown.
