“Curfew will be in place as we have seen on weekends. No public transport will be allowed,” announced Yediyurappa on Monday. He said, “The virus is spreading aggressively across the state. It’s worse than Maharashtra and Delhi. We will vaccinate people above the age of 18 years free of cost at government hospitals.” Yediyurappa then went on to announce, “From tomorrow, for 14 days, there will be strict measures in place across Karnataka.” Essential groceries will be allowed to be purchased between 6 am and 10 am.
