The third phase vaccination will begin from Monday. The timings for vaccination of the two groups vide 18 to 44 and 45 plus will be different.

BMC Commissioner asked to first make online registration followed by slot booking and then only visit the vaccination centre. He asked not to visit the vaccination centre without booking a slot.

The second wave of Corona is reigning havoc in the State. Yet, some people are yet to adhere to the Covid restrictions. And hence some markets of the capital city have been sealed so far. Some people are not getting tested for Covid, and once their health condition would deteriorate, they are calling BMC, said the Commissioner.

He advised to go for test, the moment someone experiences Covid symptoms.
