Third Wave Surge: Sri Jagannath Temple Servitors Above 60 Years Get Booster Dose

With a view to protecting the senior servitors at Puri Sri Jagannath Temple from Covid-19 and its new variant Omicron, the drive to administer booster dose to those above 60 years kick started on Thursday. 

Keeping the prospects of servitors being infected and the resultant adverse impact on the rituals in view, the Sri Jagannath Temple has been closed since January 9 and it will remain out of bounds for the devotees till January 31.
