Positivity rates rising between 20-40 years of age, said state health minister Sudhakar

Inter-state travellers arriving at Bengaluru must provide negative RT-PCR coronavirus report in view of the rising infections, said Karnataka Health Minister K Sudhakar.

"There are travel restrictions in a way, whoever comes to Bengaluru from other states will have to bring in RT-PCR negative certificates otherwise we will test them here" he said.

Besides increasing testing, the health minister said the state is also introducing quarantine watch app and stamping from today. 

Expressing concern over positivity rates rising between 20-40 years of age, Sudhakar said the authorities don't want any movement when people are in isolation.

Further restrictions were imposed
