The district administration however, has still urged people not to become complacent. In a tweet, District Collector Vijay Amruta Kulange has asked people to wear masks properly and also follow social distancing as the vaccine against the disease is yet to hit the markets.
In the tweet, Kulange also asked people not to go out of their houses unless absolutely necessary.
Notably, there was a time when the district was reporting the highest number of cases in Odisha on a daily basis.
However, now Khurda district has emerged as the hotspot for COVID-19. The district reported 651 cases Monday, followed by Cuttack district with 595 cases.
