The Local Self-Government department will step up activities under its war room as part of efforts to control the spread of COVID-19 in the State, Minister for Local Self-Government M.V. Govindan has said.
He said that nodal officers would be appointed to coordinate the activities of various local bodies.
In a press release issued here on Friday, he said the war room was being revitalised as the disease spread had been rapid, fuelled by the Omicron variant. Steps would be taken to ensure that hospitals and health centres under the control of local bodies were functioning smoothly and enough oxygen beds were available in all areas.
