Meanwhile, the state government announced the easing of restrictions in some parts of the state that have not been heavily impacted by Covid-19. It also permitted information technology (IT) companies to continue working from home till July-end.
S Suresh Kumar, Karnataka’s primary and secondary education minister, on Tuesday (28 April) said that the guidelines would provide more clarity on the businesses that can operate in the red, orange and green zones of the state.
“There will be no changes in the red zone," he clarified, listing Bengaluru Urban, Belagavi, Mysuru, Vijayapura, Bagalkote, Kalaburagi, Bidar and Dakshina Kannada.
These districts account for the bulk of the covid-19 positive cases reported in the state and are also home to more than one hotspot.
