The lockdown will take effect from 8 pm on Tuesday (14 July) till 21 July, 2020.
While the government had been keen thus far on restarting the economy, lifting curbs on movements appears to have been counterproductive as people are seen moving about normally, and many of them without safety precautions such as social distancing and masks.
Considering the suggestions from experts to curb the increasing number of Covid cases, Government has decided to implement complete lockdown in Bengaluru Urban and Rural Districts for 7 days starting 8 PM on Tuesday, 14th July. Detailed guidelines will be released on Monday.(1/2)

All essential services including supply of milk, vegetables, fruits, medicines and groceries will continue uninterrupted. I appeal to people to cooperate with the government, follow all guidelines, take all precautionary steps and help us contain the pandemic. (2/2)

However, as was the case before, the supply of essential items shall continue unhindered.
As of Saturday (11 June), Bengaluru reported 2,798 Covid cases, 70 new Covid deaths and 880 discharges, according to a bulletin released by the state government.
