Categorically ruling out lockdown or night curfew in the State, Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa on Wednesday said this does not mean people can go about without wearing masks and following other COVID protocols.
“The situation is now in people”s hands. I have instructed the Home Department to strictly enforce COVID rules. If people do not cooperate we will be forced to consider stringent measures,” he told reporters after attending Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with Chief Ministers of various States.
