With Bengaluru recording an uptick in number of Covid positive cases, the state government is all set to scrap the Standard Operating Procedure of declaring an entire ward as a containment zone. Instead, it will seal only the house or apartment of the infected person.
This will change now. “There have been discussions on containing only a Single home (of the COVID Patient) and spare the rest of the road and ward.
Unlike other cities, the situation in Bengaluru is different as civic agency has controlled the spread of infection.
Kumar said blocking the entire ward or sealing an entire road for one positive case for 28 days would be challenging.
A member of Whitefield Rising said: “With lockdown ending and free movement all around, the challenge has multiplied. It’s time for all the citizens to step up and do their bit. Stay home as much as possible and wear mask whenever ones go out and sanitize their hands regularly.
