Kasarsgod (Ker), Apr 11 (): The northern-mostKasaragod district, which has accounted for 130 COVID-19cases, imposed further rigorous micro-level monitoring in fourareas from Saturday to ensure there was no community spread.

Police sources said the monitoring has been launchedin four areas - Thalankara, Choori, Kalanad and Nellikkunnu,from where many positive cases have been reported.

Drones are also being used to monitor lockdownviolations.

As against a cluster level monitoring beingimplemented across the district, patrolling in thesedesignated areas will be made more intensive by tripling thenorms of lockdown protocol, the sources said.

Authorities hope that a micro monitoring throughintensified lockdown norms would help prevent community spreadand instead help bring down the intensity of the virus.
