CORONA virus is one
of the issues faced around the world. The world is facing the issues at
different levels, from COVID effected zones to deaths in the family due to this
pandemic. A story of positivity is around in one of the villages of Karnataka.
This place is located near the border of Chikkamagaluru district. The name of
the village is Elaneer. This is around 35 km away from Belathangady taluk. The
village has no cases of COVID from last one year. The reason behind it is the
strict measures taken by the villagers and the panchayat officials.
The Village has a
total of 136 families, with a population less than 640 people. People started adhering
to the rules set by the government. They did not move to places without any
reason. No people were allowed to enter the Village.

Asha Workers visited
the houses frequently to check with the symptoms and treat as required. They
were taken COVID tests with the report reading negative. The COVID 19 taskforce
was appointed to deliver grocery items. Free ration was also delivered as per
the government order. The other big task in the early days for the members of
Gram Panchayat is create awareness about the virus and the steps to follow. In
early days of the pandemic, the people from the Village working in different
places were not allowed to enter the place and no one were also allowed to go
out of Elaneer. But, with the families’ interest, they were allowed to enter
the village with a 14 days quarantine. The frequent check on the visiting
person on quarantine has also helped the virus to not enter this Village of
Karnataka.
132 people are vaccinated till now, falling under the age group of 45+
