RAJKOT: Anticipating a spike in Covid-19 cases with the movement of people during Diwali festivities in the district, the Bhavnagar administration has made it mandatory for all those entering the district to undergo Covid-19 testing.
For this purpose testing centres have been set up at the two entry points into the district — Adhelai and Keria Dhal — and at the jetty of Ghogha-Dahej Ro-Pax ferry service.
“It is feared that there will be a sudden spurt in the number of Covid-19 positive cases, as the movement of people coming to the district will increase during Diwali festivities.Keeping this in mind, we have decided to set up the rapid antigen test centres at the two entrance points into the district and at the jetty of ro-pax ferry service,” said an official from Bhavnagar district administration.
“The rapid antigen test centres will remain functional throughout the week. The test has been made mandatory for all those entering the district,” added the official.
