?We have received the instructions from the state government following which we have instructed the workers here to cover their mouths with mask and not to go too near the ducks or other birds. Public entry is allowed but there is no rush these days. Instructions to the public are also given to avoid going near the cages and the birds. The care takers of the park also keeps a vigil over the visitors to warn them going near the cages even as there is no such risk of virus here and none of the bird death has been reported. Workers used to feed the ducks, in cage, only after covering their hands with gloves. The ducks were also checked up earlier to confirm any virus in them but nothing was reported dangerous,? added Sanjeev.
