Bengaluru, Jun 4: The Karnataka government has tweaked quarantine requirements for people arriving from Maharashtra, raising the isolation time from a fortnight to three weeks, an official said on Wednesday.
"Returnees from Maharashtra will be sent to institutional quarantine for seven days, followed by 14 days strict home quarantine, total 21 days," tweeted Health Commissioner Pankaj Kumar Pandey.
The 21-day quarantine regimen is for all asymptomatic people returning from Maharashtra, considering most of the Covid cases in Karnataka are having domestic travel history to that state.
If any of the asymptomatic people develop symptoms during the isolation, they will be subjected to a Covid test.
However, some asymptomatic individuals from Maharashtra have been provided some exceptions from the three-week quarantine and designated as special category passengers.
Special category passengers include people who suffered a death in family, pregnant women, children below 10, elderly people above 60, individuals suffering from serious illness and human distress.
Similarly, the department has also made some provisions for business travellers from Maharashtra.
"To establish that one is a business visitor, (that) person should show confirmed return flight or train ticket which should not be more than seven days later from the date of arrival," ordered Chief Secretary T.M. Vijay Bhaskar.
Similarly, if a business visitor is arriving on road, he should provide the address proof of the person in Karnataka he intends to meet.
Additionally, such a person should also produce a Covid negative test certificate which is not more than two days old.
"One does not have a Covid negative test certificate such a person should go for institutional quarantine for two days within which Covid test should be conducted at his own cost. After the test result is negative, that person is exempted from quarantine," he said.
However, business travellers have been exempted from hand stamping.
Amending the Sunday orders, Bhaskar, has enhanced the quarantine requirements for Maharashtra returnees.
Many conditions for visitors from other states remain mostly unchanged as notified on Sunday.
Police used mild force to disperse the protesters in which some of them received minor injuries.

Good Treatment to Swami, appreciated...ha...ha..ha............
When the mind is empty about the knowledge of the CREATOR , YOU all will find people like SWAMY & their fans spread the hatred & support the EVIL without the knowledge of accountability of the DEEDS with the Creator. When we live in FALSE ideology - we tend to do INJUSTICE to the innocent and OPPRESS them...
Dear Swami and his fans should learn more about the CREATOR of all that exists.. who created the SKY without any Hole in it.. Please look up the SKY, try to find a whole .. LOOK Again try to find a hole... and then PONDER and think on the creation... The CREATOR will guide those who Ponder on his verses...
QURAN asks human to think & PONDER on the verses of the QURAN. and implement and research with the LIFE which ALLAH has given us... Many Scientist have already proven & accepted the word of ALLAH and with their deep study they are PROVING its the word of GOD which is FAR FROM IMPERFECT -- Praise be to ALLAH alone who created the heavens and earth...
Subbu Swamy...Deserves These kind of welcome...Don't Throw good tomatos.Throw only waste. Otherwise he will catch & cook it.
Why swami never tell about vyapam scam, chiikki scam, food scam, lalit modi scam? He only shows at others. First let him look into his own party memebers
An insult to rotten eggs and tomatoes. Swamy need stonewash.
indian Drama Leader,
FreeSpeech is the private property of Marxists on JNU campus -- not open for Ramdev or Subramanian Swamy.
