"No doubt that the spreading of coronavirus is absolutely in low profile in Chittoor due to following of Covid norms scrupulously by one and all. It is evident that the government has taken stringent steps for containing the pandemic right from the initial stage of pandemic.

However, we are not freed from virus still. We have to follow the precautions, until the pandemic is subsides," he stated. He reiterated that wearing face mask was a must and no exemption would be given in this regard.
