COVID-19 Scare: Karnataka CM’s Home Office Shut As Relative Of Staff Tests Positive

Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa’s office-cum-residence was shut on Friday after an employee’s relative tested positive for COVID-19.

“The entire premises at CM’s home office ‘Krishna’ (on Kumarakrupa Road, Seshadripuram) was shut after a woman police constable on duty there reported that her husband tested positive for COVID-19,” BBMP Commissioner B.H. Anil Kumar was quoted as saying by Indianexpress.com.

He added that a BBMP team had completed thorough sanitisation of the entire premises and that the campus will be shut for the entire day on Friday.

CMO officials said that meetings scheduled for the day were shifted to the office in Vidhana Soudha.

All members of staff are being made to undergo random testing.

The Vikasa Soudha building was also shut for the day after an employee of the Food and Civil Supplies Department tested positive.

The Karnataka government ordered ‘work from home’ for its employees working in the building for the frist time since the pandemic broke out.
