Cases against infected persons if found in public

DC tells officials to keep as many positive persons as possible at COVID Care Centres instead of in home isolation

Deputy Commissioner K.V. Rajendra on Saturday warned of registering cases against COVID-19 positive persons and their contacts if they were found roaming in public. Presiding a virtual review meeting here, Dr. Rajendra asked officials to keep as many infected persons as possible at the COVID Care Centres instead of home isolation. Whoever is allowed to be isolated at home, should strictly be monitored by officials concerned that they strictly comply with the quarantine norms, he said. During his virtual meeting with district and taluk level officers, Dr. Rajendra asked officials to follow directions of Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai and visit houses of infected persons. If the infected persons and their contacts are found roaming around, the same should be visually recorded and an FIR should be registered against them. Officials were asked to shift COVID-19 positive pregnant women in the locality to the nearest government hospital. Care should be taken that there are no deaths of any positive patient.
