Hoteliers and gym owners have resigned themselves to the inevitable fallout of the government’s restrictions in the wake of the second wave of COVID-19. A complete closure of gyms and 50% occupancy in hotels will hit businesses hard, and both industries have demanded a relief package from the State government. Owners argued that they are one of the most severely hit sectors but are yet to get any relief from the government.
Chandrashekhar Hebbar, president, Karnataka Regional Hotels and Restaurants Association, while acknowledging the inevitability of restrictions on occupancy, said that unless the government provided a relief package this time around, the sector would find it difficult to cope. “We are not asking for cash payouts.

Fresh clusters trigger panic
Residents of apartment complexes in Bengaluru are once again tightening precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19, even while colleges have opened and restrictions have been eased in restaurants, theatres, etc. The detection of new clusters in the city in the last fortnight, especially in Yelahanka, and the rise in COVID-19 cases in neighbouring Kerala and Maharashtra have residents worried.
Though the numbers are not alarming, apartment associations say they do not want to take any chances for fear of a second wave. Many complexes have yet to open club houses and other recreational facilities to residents, while others are not allowing vendors inside the premises for deliveries.
