THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: After registering in NORKA, Keralites have started coming from neighbouring states but were permitted to leave after strict checking in check posts. The Malayalees from other states have permission to reach Kerala via Inchivila in the capital city, Aryankavu in Kollam, Kumili in Idukki, Walayar in Palakkad, Muthanga in Wayanad and Manjeswaram in Kasargod check posts.
After strict medical examination and thermal screening, they are sent home with an affidavit stating that they should be in 14 days compulsory quarantine. Quarantine centres have been arranged near check post to admit those having fever or other symptoms. Two natives of Thrissur were the ones who reached first at Inchivila near Amaravila in the capital city at 6.30 am.However, they were not able to leave from there after completing the medical examination. Though the documents of the two who came from Nagercoil and Marthandam with the digital pass of NORKA registration were examined, COVID screening and delay of vehicle for the two to return made them stand in front of the shops for hours. They had to leave for Thrissur which has been declared as green zone.
The vehicle arranged by their family members delayed to reach the spot as they had to get the permission of the district collector. Though the district administration had earlier informed to arrange vehicles for them to return homes, there were no such arrangements at Inchivila. Only an ambulance was ready to take those coming with fever or symptoms of COVID-19 to the hospital.Many from various places in Tamil Nadu are reaching Kaliyakkavilai check post to reach state. Many vehicles crossed the state this morning through the Palakkad Walayar check post. The district administration said more than 30 vehicles crossed in an hour after checking. The number of vehicles coming from Tamil Nadu to Walayar to Kerala has increased.
