R Ashoka, Karnataka’s revenue minister, said on Friday that tight measures would be implemented in the state capital and other districts after August 15 to curb the spread of Covid-19 from Kerala and Maharashtra.
The minister in charge of Covid-19 management here claimed there is no suggestion before the government to impose lockdown in the city, even though a conference under the leadership of chief minister Basavaraj Bommai will be convened soon to consider the measures.
He told reporters here that the number of virus cases in Bengaluru is progressively decreasing, therefore there may not be a major problem. He admitted to making mistakes during the second wave but added that by correcting them, the government is taking steps to prevent the third wave from occurring by raising awareness, establishing pediatric wards, and training pediatricians, among other things.
