Karnataka Health Minister K. Sudhakar said on Thursday that the state is likely to adopt more stringent measures to check the spread of the Covid pandemic, and in all probability, it may opt for a complete lockdown after the current phase of partial lockdown ends on May 12.
A partial lockdown is in force in Karnataka from the night of April 27 till May 12, which restricts people s free movement, while essential shops, including liquor vends, remain open between 6 am and 12 noon.
Interacting with mediapersons here, Sudhakar admitted that the partial lockdown has failed to break the chain of the virus in the state.
