"Swing Into Action": BS Yediyurappa Asks Ministers To Contain Virus In Districts

Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa said the second wave of coronavirus is taking the entire nation into its grip and all the districts need to take measures to contain it.

Amid raging COVID-19 cases in Karnataka, Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Wednesday directed all his cabinet colleagues to work more proactively in districts they are in charge of to check the spread of the deadly disease. The direction comes a day after opposition leaders, at an all party meeting, criticised the government over its handling of COVID-19 crisis. In a letter to the ministers, the Chief Minister said the second wave of coronavirus is taking the entire nation into its grip and all the districts need to take measures to contain it. "Against this backdrop, you need to swing into action to prevent the spread of the disease in your district concerned, get in touch with the district authorities continuously and create awareness among people on controlling the spread of the virus," Mr Yediyurappa said.
