A new case of COVID-19 was reported in the district on Monday. A 30-year-old woman who came from France has been tested positive for the disease. She has been admitted to the Thrissur General Hospital.
People coming from foreign countries should report at the control room or nearby primary health centre, the district medical officer said. Stringent action would be taken against those who failed to report their travel details.
As there were chances of community spread of the disease, people under home quarantine should maintain the guidelines strictly, she said.
In all, 9,525 people are under observation in the distort. Of them, 44 are admitted to various hospitals.
