The number of COVID-19 cases has been increasing tremendously in the capital city of Bangalore. The state government is looking at different solutions that would help contain the number of these cases in the state especially in the city that has become a hotspot. One of the solutions is to assign ministers to different zones and ask them to personally look after the activities of the area. The Chief Minister of Karnataka, B S Yediyurappa has taken this decision in a meeting he chaired. Due to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases, more beds, and oxygen devices will be provided to medical centres. The number of tests will also be increased where the results will be delivered on priority. More labs and lab technicians will be roped in to balance the increasing load on current staff, some of whom are under quarantine themselves. There are 16531 active cases, 11876 people have been either cured or discharged, and 470 deaths have occurred in the state of Karnataka as of today. A total of 28,877 people have been affected by the disease in the state to date.
