Witnessing gradual spurt in the Covid-19 cases, especially in and around Bengaluru city, Health Minister Dr K Sudhakar on Wednesday said that the government has banned all late-night parties that could turn out to be super-spreader later.
Addressing media persons in Bengaluru, Dr Sudhakar said that instructions have been given to star hotels and restaurants to take necessary steps to prevent further spread.
We have banned late-night parties because during such events more people gather in one place. Also, the neighbouring states have been witnessing a spike in the Covid-19 cases. Hence we have taken all steps to contain the spread of the virus both in Bengaluru and other parts of the state,” Sudhakar said.
This apart, the minister stated that measures have been taken to restrict large gatherings at marriage ceremonies and other similar functions. However, Dr Sudhakar clarified that there have been no restrictions on interstate travel.
