I want to assure everyone that the situation is under control,” he said.

Rao appealed to the media to report the increase in cases responsible and not too sensational. “Covid-19 is not new. It became a pandemic five years ago, and now we are prepared to deal with it. There is no need to exaggerate its severity,” he added.

The minister found that the government is on a high alert and carried out precautionary measures to monitor the situation. With regard to the strong increase in cases in neighboring Kerala, Rao attributed to increasing test efforts and said that Karnataka is pursuing advice to the center, which at that time does not recommend any special restrictions.
