Meanwhile, with a message that “Police are with the people” the Kerala police have started video chat with people who are under home quarantine. The objective is to boost their morale.
Thrissur Range DIG S. Surendran held video chat with people in home quarantine in the district on Wednesday from 10.30 a.m. He inquired about their health and provided them guidelines. He reminded them that the police were just a phone call away for any support including food and medicines.
