Anti-poaching drive to be affected as infections rise among staff Constant exposure during combing operations outside forests and anti-poaching drives has resulted in a sizeable number of field staff contracting COVID-19 in Karnataka.
Apart from anti-poaching drives the field staff also come into contact with the general public while dealing with other issues and this is not only resulting in infection among the forest staff but they could even end up spreading it in the remote hamlets of forest-dwelling communities.
