Virajapete, April. 16: Nearly 71 labourers from Kerala, who arrived at the Makutta checkpost from Kerala in the wake of the coronavirus spreading 19 days ago, have been placed in quarantine as a restriction of corona lockdown in the taluk administration, RG and backward classes. Taluk Tahsildar ML Nandish said all the workers were ready to go home as their term expired on 12th but they were waiting for the government order. Of these 71 workers who had been to Kerala as workers, have returned to Karnataka and are allowed to go to their home-towns as they were found negative with no signs of coronavirus infection. Nandish said that a letter has been sent to the district authorities and all the workers will be sent back to their homes as soon as the government orders. The workers are said to have migrated to Kerala from various parts of North Karnataka, including Vijapur, Raichur and Gadag.
