The Karnataka government imposed a 14-day lockdown in the urban areas of the state from April 27 night to May 12 morning in order to contain the spread of Covid-19.
The state has been reporting about 35,000 cases a day while the active cases have reached close to 3.5 lakh.
The state is witnessing a shortage of oxygen, ICU beds, Remdesivir injection, and other life-saving medicines due to the rising Covid-19 cases.
