The Karnataka government has decided to impose a 14-day complete lockdown in the state to check the spread of Covid-19 cases. Announcing the decision Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa said the state government had to impose a lockdown because the 'corona curfew' failed to achieve its objectives. <br /> <br />"As Covid-19 cases are surging in the state, corona curfew was not successful. A complete lockdown will be imposed from 6 am on May 10 till 6am on May 24," he said. <br /> <br />During the lockdown in Karnataka, all hotels, pubs and bars will remain closed. Eateries, meat shops and vegetable shops can however operate from 6-10 am. Use of private vehicles will be permitted only for medical purpose and in case of an emergency.
