To fight this, the state government is interested on bringing in strict rules against those mocking physical distancing measures in public. A specific rule book will be out in a few days, he said. The Minister on Wednesday held a meeting with a proficient committee concerning COVID-19. Stating that political and religious groups have been on a high following the easing of lockdown restrictions, Sudhakar said this has led to the rapid expanse of the virus. Hence, it has been decided to stop such large gatherings.

Addressing the 'notable role' of the media in raising awareness about coronavirus, he declared that the administration was thinking over organizing a special workshop for media persons.
