With the state in the grip of the raging second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Karnataka government on Friday (7 May) decided to impose a 14-day statewide lockdown from 10 to 24 May.
The main objective of the 14-day shutdown is to restrict public movement as much as possible in order to prevent the virus from spreading.
While there will be strict restrictions on public movement, shops dealing with food, groceries, fruits and vegetables, meat, fish and animal fodder will be operational from 6 am to 10 am.
