After a high-level meeting, CM BS Yediyurappa tweeted that nightly restrictions will be imposed throughout the state, with strict restrictions. “The midnight mass on December 24 for Christmas can be performed without any obstruction according to the rules issued previously,” he clarified in another tweet.
In guidelines issued on December 17, the government had said that church organizers and supervisors must ensure that a large number of people do not gather at once and that distancing is maintained.
Parties, special DJ dance programs, and special events in clubs, pubs, restaurants, and other venues that attract large numbers of people without social distancing have been banned from December 30 to January 2. “All of this will apply to the entire state. I ask the entire public to cooperate in light of the new Covid-19 strain that has emerged, ”Yediyurappa said.
The CM said that all those traveling to the state and arriving at Bengaluru or Mangaluru airports from foreign countries must have a negative Covid certificate through an RT-PCR test. The certificate must be obtained 72 hours before departure time. All arrangements have been made at the airport for testing. Health personnel have been deployed there to ensure that no one enters the city without getting tested, he said.
Earlier in the day, the CM said the curbs would be in place from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. He modified the times in a tweet.
