The monsoon is coming and people, particularly in the coastal and southern parts of Karnataka, including Bengaluru, are bound to get drenched in heavy rain, as shops selling rain gear — umbrellas, raincoats, plastic sheets — have been ordered to be closed by the State government in the view of enhanced COVID-19 restrictions. With the government mulling further extension of lockdown beyond June 7, it is more likely that people get exposed to torrential showers for an indefinite period of time. This process could lead to two kinds of confusions at a time when the pandemic is ruling the roost. Either some getting common cold and fever due to drenching may believe they are affected by COVID-19 and rush to healthcare facilities or others actually infected by COVID-19 and having symptoms might think that it is just common cold, cough and fever.More Related News
