CM Bommai says he went there only after getting details
After reports came criticising Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai’s participation in a marriage ceremony at a convention hall on the campus of SDM College of Medical Sciences and Hospital in Dharwad where 306 persons tested positive, Deputy Commissioner of Dharwad Nitesh Patil on Wednesday clarified that the hall was outside the containment zone.
In a press release, Mr. Patil clarified that after COVID-19 cases were reported from the medical college campus in the last week of November, the medical college had been closed and two of its hostels kept under seal.
This apart, the closure of the Out-Patient Department (OPD) of the hospital was ordered and new patients admissions barred for a few days, he said.
