Bengaluru: Rising number of COVID cases in Bengaluru has forced Karnataka Government to come up with a law to make home isolation of people aged above 60 years mandatory. Priority is now for people with symptoms. And people aged above 60 years and are asymptomatic will have to be quarantined, Medical Education Minister Dr. K. Sudhakar said in a press conference here.
There is a rider to the new law which the State Government is planning to bring. There should be a separate room for the patient with a separate toilet. An attendant should also be there to exclusively take care of the patient. It could be a family member. Health and condition of the patient will be monitored by task force members.
