Bengaluru, Jun 22: Areas having three to four COVID-19 cases being termed as clusters will be totally sealed and maximum testing will be conducted there, moreover only critical cases will be shifted to COVID hospitals in Bengaluru, said Karnataka Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai.
Speaking to media persons, Karnataka Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai said, "It has been decided that clusters (areas having 3-4 #COVID19 cases) will be totally sealed and maximum testing will be done there. Only critical cases will be shifted to Covid hospitals. I demanded that police personnel are tested on priority."
"A lot of issues were discussed about the spike in COVID-19 cases. As far as hospitals are concerned there are two types of patients, asymptomatic and symptomatic, moderate and critical. Moderate and normal cases can be shifted to COVID centres," he added.
Bommai further added that beds in hospitals need to be reserved for corona warriors as well.
"There has to be a coordination between BBPM who brings the patient and the hospital, the moment a positive case is reported to avoid the waiting period. Even in hospitals, some beds have to be reserved for corona warriors. Community transmission is not yet there but we have to be prepared," he added.
Earlier today, Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa had called an emergency meeting of concerned officials and departments to discuss measures to control rising COVID19 cases in Bengaluru.
As the numbers of COVID-19 cases are increasing in Bengaluru at an alarming rate, the Chief Minister opined that this can be contained only if preventive measures were implemented strictly.
He directed the officials to implement lockdown strictly in the clusters, which reported more number of cases, especially KR Market and surrounding areas such as Siddapura, VV Puram, Kalasipalya. It was decided to seal the adjoining streets, where the cases are reported.
He said that stringent action would be taken against those who violate quarantine and FIR would be filed if necessary.
Officers were directed to fix rates for treatment of COVID patients in private hospitals to make coronavirus treatment accessible to all.
Yediyurappa further instructed officials to set up fever clinics in all wards and maintain hygiene and provide other basic amenities to the people who were quarantined in social welfare hostels and other government institutions.
"COVID-19 should be contained without affecting the economic activities in Bengaluru, which resumed recently," he said.
"COVID War Room shall have real-time information on the availability of beds in various COVID hospitals and shall facilitate the infected person to avail treatment without losing any time," added Yediyurappa.

Nothing to say ! Everything is in the name of Dargha fights route cause is Un-Islamic.
Wrong people of the RIGHT-RELIGION.
Desecrating grave and Ullal Kazi khoora Thangal and SSF electing a rowdy who spending night at bar as Darga president against majority wishes
these two example enough for how low people can go for Darga business
lock down darga to save people from hell fire
really inhuman incident. must be hanged whoever made this crime.
These people trying to take advantage of Minister's patience. May Almighty Allah rest in peace his parents. Aameen
either minister or common people , writings on graves , building permanent structures not allowed in islam, muslims should avoid it... people can not show their anger by destroying such things, or degrading graves... only fools and ignorant muslims only can do such things... those fighting for power, should understand that you are fighting for unlawful money , dargha itself is un islamic thing for muslims... Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) ordered to destroy such dargahs, muslims also follow that way only...
what UT Khader did now, this people fighting for dargah's president ship. and damaging ut khader's parents graves is different issue.
as Monu Borkala said,
the above incident clearly says Dargah business is very profitable and it does not have any islamic background, and i must say that for money this type of people will kill anybody and do above incident further,
inhuman can do this crime. totally i must say its wrong. for all of us parents means its like a god to us, for the memory we build their grave, it feels like they are with us, damaging grave is like playing with emotions.
Whoever did this job is highly condemnable at the same time being a well wisher of U.T.Khader we are expecting our Minister to act fairly in the trouble unfolding in Ullal dargah. He is taking wrong side by siding with SSF people against the wishes of people of Ullal. It was clear by recent election to Dargah Committee majority of 27 out of 49 members elected a president instead of supporting people verdict sending government official of waqf at mid night to lock the Dargah chamber is highly condemnable.
UT Khader's big Fan, this must be a work of SDPI, if dog bark on the street let them bark, we should not think about it.
khader sir we are with you, whatever damage they have done to you the same in other way they will go through it.
Dont worry khader bhai, not a big deal to build a newer one. let this dogs go to the hell.
sad news, whatever the issue is touching someone's grave is totally wrong. i can proudly shout \humanity lost\"."
the above incident clearly says Dargah business is very profitable and it does not have any islamic background
catch those mad dogs and grave them in road.
UT khader's father was a great man he sacrificed so much to the society. this is clearly a horrible violence.
this is totally wrong, the politician or common man. should not touch the grave of the parents, some mad dogs did this
Devotees? These are humans with the worst order. And they want to take iver management of a dargah... obviously for corrupt purpose. #Shame
