Bengaluru, Mar 12: Karnataka government on Wednesday issued a temporary regulation -- Karnataka Epidemic Diseases, COVID-19 Regulations, 2020 -- which aims to prevent the spread of the disease.
According to the regulation, all government and private hospitals should have flu corners for the screening of suspected cases of COVID-19.
All hospitals during the screening of such cases shall record the history of travel of the person if he or she has travelled to any country or area where COVID-19 has been reported in addition to the history of coming in contact with a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19 shall be recorded.
Any person with a history of travel in the last 14 days to a country or area from where COVID-19 has been reported must report to the nearest government hospital or call at toll-free helpline number 104 so that necessary measures if required, may be initiated by the Department of Health and Family Welfare.
If a suspected case of COVID-19 refuses admission or isolation, the offices authorised under Section 3 of the regulation shall have powers to forcefully admit and isolate such case of a period of 14 days from the onset of symptoms or till the reports of lab tests are received, or such period as may be necessary.

Taking from Gaushala is bit risky. We can see street cows (not in mangaluru - udupi, kerala).. have to steal those cows and should nurture for one month and can seel. It gives more profit
Even in karnataka, cow getting more importance than other issues or it proves BD can influence more in police dpt also
Wow.. police wont act in similar speed for rape or other issues
I think Police has arrested two innocents on the pressure from BD and other Sangh parivar parties. It shows that Police is working as Agent of these sangh parivar goonda parties. However, in case they did catch the people, i am sure that cows were sold to them by BD goondas as they need money to drink and eat beef sukka. |This might be a planned work of these goondas as they do always. First sell cows, get money and then inform Police + other BD goondas. Police should investigate and catch real culprits behind the issue and should not arrest any one just to make sangh parivar happy.
