The Karnataka government has decided to impose a 14-day complete lockdown in the state to check the spread of Covid-19 cases. Announcing the decision Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa said the state government had to impose a lockdown because the 'corona curfew' failed to achieve its objectives.
"As Covid-19 cases are surging in the state, corona curfew was not successful. A complete lockdown will be imposed from 6 am on May 10 till 6am on May 24," he said.
During the lockdown in Karnataka, all hotels, pubs and bars will remain closed. Eateries, meat shops and vegetable shops can however operate from 6-10 am. Use of private vehicles will be permitted only for medical purpose and in case of an emergency.
