Chief Minister says the infection entered Karnataka from Kerala and Maharashtra
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai justified curbs on travellers from neighbouring Kerala and Maharashtra entering Karnataka saying the government has learnt lessons from the first and second waves of COVID-19. “Both the waves entered Karnataka from Kerala and Maharashtra, and spread across the state. Therefore, I held meetings with experts and the Health Minister to assess the situation immediately after taking the oath of office. It was decided to exercise absolute precaution in border areas,” he told mediapersons after inaugurating a new Intensive Care Unit at the District Government Wenlock Hospital in Mangaluru on August 12.More Related News
