Bengaluru, Apr 3: Four people, including three who attended the Tablighi Jamat meet in Delhi, tested positive for coronavirus on Friday, taking the total number of the affected in the state to 128, the Health department said here.
The three men from Belagavi had attended the Tablighi- Jamaat congregation from March 13 to 18 at Delhi, while the other case was that of a 75-year-old man, who is a resident of Bagalkote.
A detailed investigation was underway to ascertain how he got infected, the department said in a bulletin.
It said that till date, 128 COVID-19 positive cases have been confirmed in the state, including three deaths and 11 discharges.
"With 128 cases we are in ninth position in the country in number of cases.Today four new cases were confirmed, of which three were those who attended Tablighi-Jamaat congregation," Primary and Secondary Education Minister Suresh Kumar told reporters, giving details about the bulletin.
He said 187 of the total of 288 samples collected from those who attended the congregation had tested negative and only 13 had turned positive so far.
"Out of 288 samples collected, we have got report for only 200 cases and are awaiting reports for 88," he added.
Though Kumar did not give any figures on the total number of people who went from Karnataka to attend theDelhi meet, the health department on Thursday had said nearly 1,000 people (including 19 foreigners) linked to Tablighi Jamat had been screened and swab samples of more than 200 people had been collected, while efforts are on to find out others.
Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Friday held a meeting with Muslim leaders and MLAs even as the government stepped up efforts to track those who might have travelled to the state after taking part in the meet in Delhi last month, which has turned out to be the hotbed of COVID-19 spread in the country.
After the meeting, the Chief Minister said Muslim MLAs agreed to provide details of those who attended the Jamaat's congregation to the government and also convince them to undergo COVID-19 tests, along with quarantining themselves.
Out of total of 114 active cases in the state so far, 111 patients (including 1 pregnant woman) are in isolation at designated hospitals and are stable, while three are in ICU (one on oxygen and two on Ventilators).
Seven of the 128 cases detected and confirmed were transit passengers of Kerala, who landed at airports in Karnataka and are being treated in the state.
Among the 128 positive cases, 51 were reported from Bengaluru, 21 from Mysuru, 10 from Bidar, nine from Dakshina Kannada, eight from Uttara Kannada, seven from Chikkaballapur, five from Kalaburgai, four from Ballari, three each from Davangere, Belagavi and Udupi, and one each from Kodagu, Tumakuru, Bagalkote and Dharwad.
Those discharged include nine patients from Bengaluru and two from Kalaburagi and among the deceased are one each are reported from Kalaburgari, Bengaluru and Tumakuru.
The Chief Minister held a series of meetings to review the measures taken to control the spread of COVID-19 and implementation of lockdown in the state.
He asked the labour department to deposit an additional Rs 1,000 from the Construction Workers Welfare Fund to the accounts of 15 lakh labourers in the sector.
The government has already deposited Rs 1000 to their accounts (amounting about Rs 150 crore) in the first round.
During the meeting the shortage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Kits for Doctors and health care professionals was discussed.
"Work order has been issued for 1 lakh PPE kits, and the Chief Minister has issued directions for the supply of 2 lakh more PPE kits," Kumar said.
Yediyurappa also chaired a meeting with Ministers from Bengaluru on steps to be taken to control spread of COVID-19, as the city has more than half the confirmed cases in the state.
He also decided to covene a meeting of city legislators in this regard on Saturday morning.
Kumar said it was also decided not to provide food free of cost at the state run Indira Canteens as concerns were raised about the quality and misuse that was happening during the Chief Minister's meeting with ministers today.
"We have decided to stop free food supply...we are providing foodgrains to poor through ration already," he said.
However, the Canteens will continue to provide subsidized food- breakfast at Rs 5 and lunch and dinner at Rs 10.
The government last month had decided that Indira Canteens would provide food packets free of cost to the poor and needy in the wake of the lockdown.
Meanwhile, in view of COVID-19, emergency Additional Chief Secretary, H&FW Department ordered extension ofservices of Medical and Para-medical staff, Clinical and Nonclinical staff retiring in April and May this year, to June 30.
Amid reports of lack of co-ordination between Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar and Health and Family Welfare Minister B Sriramulu, Chief Minister Yediyurappa has tasked Suresh Kumar to brief the media on COVID-19 related daily bulletins, official sources said.
"Female foeticide is a sin. So what if the sinner is a Hindu. My government has taken a number of steps (to stop this practice). Daughters, mothers, sisters should be protected. One should not consider religion. Mothers and sisters should be respected. We have raised the issue firmly.

And other women of India suffering from liquor drunk husband's and murders...... can allow tobacco products killing their husbands from cancer......can you ban this if you have guts...? Nuts will come in mouth

Wish he would have realised when he released Babu Bajrangi from jail (who slit wombs of women and killed women & Feotus)
U ruined ur wife's life and career by not giving talaq in young days. And never stayed with her.
Feels sorry for ur wife.
PM Modi is concerned about muslim women..he is not concerned about his own wife...He killed more than 3000 muslims. He is simply implementing RSS agenda...we are now in end times. there will be a big disaster in the world. nobody might have seen and heard that kind of man made disaster...may allah protect our emaan....Ameen.

What a drama PM! You could have got job in movies! ANSWER US ABOUT KASHMIR! His party along with media is deviating the current heated crisis of kashmir because you dont have a SOLUTION! WE MUSLIM WOMEN ARE VERY SAFE BECAUSE OF THE RIGHTS OUR RELIGION HAS GIVEN US & he needn't show us any pity..if he really want to help us..WE ARE ACTUALLY struggling for RIGHTS TO WEAR HIJAB..ALLOW US!
Modi is the perfect follower of Rama. He threw his wife into fire, she came unhurt, he drove her to the forest, she bore two children, he tried to kill her children, he lost the fight, finally he forced his wife to commit suicide. Modi driven his wife out as she was not beautiful, he neither divorced nor accepted her as his wife - a Trishanku Naraka (hell life in this world) a gift for his wife. what we can expect from a person who cant be a MAN to his wife. Old man's crocodile tears and monkey joke! Laugh loudly!!
Narendra Modi,
Yes Muslim's are well aware of Jews n their policy. And their interaction behind Muslims. Even Jews know very well they cannot come over Islam . You rss just now started hold Jews tail n starred to call jew community as your father. Remember you even don't know how they will remove u all from the universe. So it is better to follow Jews training n not to play with Islam religion.
Jai Hind!

Dis guy has no ability of looking after his own wife and protecting her. Now duniya badalne chala g...du
Any comments on ua own Wife???
Dear Modiji
When you was the CM of Gujarath how many lives of muslim women you have destroyed in the riots
Dear Modi Ji.
Kindly take a decision about your own one and only Wife Jashoda ben. Please humble request.
When our honorable PM was the CM of Gujarat hundreds of mothers,sisters and teenage girls raped and tortured publicly. That time he did't show any respect and justice to the victim of Muslim women's and culprits are not punished. Now he is acting crocodile tears in the name of protection and justice to Muslim Women. He is fooling the Muslim community.
@ #9 Basavaraja is very Familiar with CAT WALK.
Yesterday there was a rally in UP ...nearly 75% participants were women ...but it was not the case. . Madrasa students and mullahs took their wives burkha and participated in rally ..by looking at their cat walk we could make out
Really interesting. Jashodhaben's life also is ruined by triple RTI talaq.
Sirji, pehle hamara problem solve karo. Baadme beary yonka peeche jao. Come on yaar...Mardangi dikhao...
Where were u mr modi when Muslim pregnant women's were being killed during anti Muslim genocide in gujarath 2002 by ur bjp and bajrang dal activists?
What about joshadabein. Both are One And the same.
Now ur worried. Where were u when Muslim girls where murdered during Gujarati riots.
First look at your wife.
you ruined your wife.
Real Muslims never ruin their women.
first u think about your wife, other women will be fine.
Thanks coastaldigest for remembering his life's love story.
first think about your wife she wasted her precious time of her life. then think about other women's.
Modi loves selfie......he has his wife in Gujrath....he even did not give single talak her....ignoring her.....
Muslims wont agree about his formula....he has to listen to all ulemas.....they will give him a best suggestion.....
Modi is ignorant about Islamic way of life.....
