Lockdown, seal down were not necessary if people had followed COVID guidelines strictly: Minister Sudhakar

Bengaluru, Apr. 20, 2021 (www.justkannada.in): “Corona cases are increasing day-by-day in the state, if people had followed the guidelines properly imposing lockdown, seal down was not necessary,” said Health Minister Dr. K. Sudhakar.
Speaking to the press persons today about this Minister K. Sudhakar said providing hospital beds to all the COVID patients has become difficult. “We have to agree on the reality. If people would have followed the COVID guidelines strictly, thought of imposing seal down, or lockdown wouldn’t have come at all. Unfortunately, the people neglected all our warnings and requests. Hence, now it has become inevitable to think about imposing tough rules,” he added.
“We are presently in a dilemma. This is wartime for us. This is not a situation to exhibit our prestige. We intend to take everyone into confidence and work on a war foot basis to prevent the pandemic. We are committed to giving importance to save people’s lives,” he added.
