Schools, colleges to be issued detailed advisory soon
In the light of the emerging new COVID-19 variant (Omicron) found in South Africa and emerging clusters in some colleges in Karnataka, the State Government has made RT-PCR negative reports mandatory for people coming to the State from Kerala and Maharashtra.
A decision has also been taken for intensive surveillance and testing at inter-State borders of Karnataka-Kerala and Karnataka-Maharashtra.
After a two-hour-long meeting chaired by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai with Ministers and senior officials, the Government directed all college students travelling from Kerala to Karnataka and staying in college hostels to mandatorily undergo COVID-19 test again.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
