Bengaluru, May 18:
Karnataka has banned entry of international and domestic passengers from four states – Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Kerala – a day after the centre said that movement of passengers would be allowed only with mutual consent between the states as it extended the shutdown to May 31.
The southern state, which has so far reported over 1,100 coronavirus patients and more than 30 deaths linked to COVID-19, has also announced a “total lockdown” on Sundays, adding that only essential services will be allowed.
“Parks will be opened from tomorrow,” Deputy Chief Minister Ashwath Narayan said this afternoon after holding a high-level meeting.
“The state government will follow the lockdown guidelines announced by the central government,” he said.
