Bengaluru, May 11: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Monday inaugurated four buses that have been converted into COVID-19 testing facilities in Bengaluru.
State Deputy Chief Minister C N Ashwath Narayan, Karnataka Revenue Minister R Ashoka and Member of Parliament from Bengaluru South Tejasvi Surya were also present.
"The mobile fever clinic bus initiative was taken by Sanchit Gaurav, Founder and CEO of Housejoy, in association with the Government of Karnataka, the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC), MP Tejaswi Surya, other partners, to increase the number of COVID tests across Bengaluru and win the fight against the virus," said KSRTC in a statement.
The bus is divided into two zones with beds and a consultation area, maintaining proper hygiene conditions.
The KSRTC said there will be four teams with four mobile bus clinics across Bengaluru - each team comprising of one doctor, three nurses and one lab technician with several volunteers facilitating the process.
The teams will be starting from red zones and will try to screen the maximum number of residents from these zones for symptoms and quarantine those who test positive.

100 percent the EVM was tampered..
there is no doubt.
but no one can do anything as already the top notch officials and investigators are greased well by the central champion liars..
we await return of lord rama to keep the rakshas away
Good courageous initiative by Mr.Lobo & Mr. Bava. Where are other congress MLA’s hiding? May be be afraid of CBI raids.
Bava done evrything for suratkal people. He has given modern face to suratkal.
Bava done everything for him. Not for people. He may suits for film, not for politics. He's just a publiocity seeker
Mr bava and lobo.. you cant make fool people all the time. People knew they elected bad people only for this time. But comparing to you people they are better.
These fools thought that they can win easily even after they are doing nothing good to people.
Why these people blaming EVM.What you done to people, they returned.
If they won, no issue with EVM. shame on you.
If EVM are not verfied properly it will take big step in 2019 as wellknown Adithyanath told EVM means every vote for Modi,the silence of opposition will give big boost for EVM in feature.
