People coming to Karnataka from neighbouring Kerala and Maharashtra, which have seen a spike in COVID-19 cases, will be monitored scrupulously with special attention in the border districts, state Health Minister K Sudhakar on Friday said.
He did not rule out the possibility of a second wave of COVID-19 in the state and cautioned the people against any negligence as the pandemic was still not over.
Noting that coronavirus cases were increasing in Kerala and Maharashtra, he said "I have written to the Home Minister, also to the Deputy Commissioners of all the border districts and will be having a video conference with them tomorrow. Special attention has to be given in the districts bordering the two districts," Sudhakar said.
