Bengaluru: The Karnataka government has made it mandatory for visitors from Maharashtra and Kerala to produce negative RT-PCR test reports from June 28 in a bid to curb the spread of cases of Covid-19 due to prevalence of two variants of the coronavirus disease said state health minister Dr K Sudhakar.
‘This step was initiated due to an increase in the number of Covid-19 cases due to the Delta and Delta Plus variants. All the deputy commissioners in the districts have been notified with respect to this,’ Sudhakar said.
As Karnataka shares its borders with both Maharashtra and Kerala, vigil will be ramped up in cities like Mysuru, Chamarajanagar in the southern part of the state, as well as in Mangaluru, Sullia and Puttur in the Dakshin Kannada region. Additionally, Belagavi in north Karnataka, and Karwar in the Uttar Kannada district will have special Covid-19 verification outposts.
