The World Heritage Site in Karnataka was closed for over two months during the second wave of COVID-19
Tourists have begun to make their way to Hampi, a World Heritage Site that was closed for over two months during the second wave of COVID-19. The site was opened to visitors in the last week of June. Though the Union government had decided to open sites managed by Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) from June 16, Hampi remained closed for some more days owing to a high number of COVID-19 cases in Vijayanagara and Ballari districts. The administration lifted restrictions on June 24 after the positivity rate dropped below 5% in the twin districts, and allowed the entry of tourists.
