In order to control the spread of COVID-19 in the district, the Ukkadam vegetable market functioning at the Ramar Kovil Street in Lorry Pettai was shifted back to Ukkadam bus stand, temporarily.
Earlier, the makeshift market at the bus stand was shifted to Lorry Pettai after the resumption of bus services resumed in June.
Post this, a 60 year old man from the Lorry Pettai area was admitted at the GH where he expired. Prior to his admission, he was tested for COVID-19, which came back positive.
As a result of this the vegetable market that had been functioning in the Lorrypettai area has been shifted to the Ukkadam bus stand again since public transport remains banned.
