In view of the continuous increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in Bengaluru, Health Minister B Sriramulu said on Tuesday that the lockout norms may have to be implemented in Bengaluru again if the same situation persists.
Talking to reporters after visiting the KC General Hospital in the city, the minister said that the four wards of the city had already been completely sealed. “The number of cases in the city has been increasing in the last few days. If the same situation persists, we will have to go for another lockout in the city.
He said that a final decision would be taken after discussing this with the experts of COVID-19 Task Force and Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa.
Calling for the people to cooperate with the government in controlling the epidemic, the minister appealed to the people to strictly follow the norms imposed by the government.
