Covid-19 second wave: Karnataka bans all construction ops during weekends

26 Apr 2021 CW Team

With this, Karnataka has virtually decided to impose lockdown during the weekends without using the terminology in its order. A strict weekend curfew to contain the rising number of Covid-19 cases came into effect in the main cities and towns of Karnataka, including Bengaluru, from Friday night to Monday morning.

Karnataka Revenue Minister R Ashoka told the media that no one would be allowed to move around anywhere in the state during this period except those who are working in essential services—fire, police, water supply, electricity supply, telecom and patients, while, milk booths, meat shops and grocery shops will operate between 6 am and 10 am.

He said day-to-day requirements could be purchased from the nearest grocery shops. No citizen will be allowed to travel beyond his locality. No one will be allowed to enter religious institutions, barring the caretakers of these places, said Ashoka.

The strict measures come as Karnataka’s Covid-19 fatalities crossed the 14,000-mark with 190 deaths, while the single-day highest of 26,962 fresh cases took the caseload to 12,74,959.

While the total fatalities were 14,075, the active cases in the state too crossed the two lakh mark—2,14,311, including 1,128 in the ICU. The state had reported the single-day highest mark on Thursday with 25,795 cases.

Urban Bengaluru accounted for 16,662 fresh infections and 124 deaths on Friday. So far, the city has reported 6,15,581 infections and 5,574 deaths. There are 1,49,624 active cases.
