The night curfew is lifted in Karnataka by the government, except for four districts. More details here.

All areas, except Kodagu and Hassan, Dakshina Kannada, Udupi districts which share borders with Kerala, would have a relaxed night curfew.

Monday's decision by Karnataka's government to relax night curfew restrictions imposed in the state because of Covid-19 was taken by the Karnataka government. This is except for four districts that share its borders with Kerala.

R Ashok, State Revenue Minister, stated that during a meeting presided over by chief minister Basavaraj Bombmai, it was decided to relax night curfew in all areas, except Kodagu and Hassan, Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, which share borders in Kerala. This is a result of a high caseload of COVID cases, according to news agency ANI.

This model was chosen by the Delhi government to address land issues posed by DDA (and civic bodies), said Satyendar Jain, Health Minister.

The health ministry in India said that India had reported 30941 new cases of COVID-19 in the last 24 hours.

The state tightened quarantine rules for passengers coming from Kerala. Ashok issued a new order requiring that all people from Kerala undergo one week of institutional quarantine. After seven days, testing is mandatory, regardless of whether they have received a negative RTPCR report or if they have been vaccinated.

An earlier decision by the Karnataka government was to give power to district authorities to create Covid containment measures, instead of imposing an statewide curfew.

The existing guidelines, night curfew throughout the state and weekend curfew at border districts, were also approved.

K V Rajendra, Dakshina Kannada's district deputy commissioner, stated that the restrictions on movement at the Kerala border will remain in place as long as the Covid-19 situation remains unchanged in Kerala.

He clarified that the Centre had not lifted the requirement for RTPCR certificates to cross the border. However, he stated that the Karnataka government's order mandating RTPCR negative certificates for people coming from Kerala to DK is still in effect. He stated that the order was meant to stop the spread of Covid-19. The district administration will continue to enforce the same. Rajendra stated that more than 30,000 Covid cases are reported daily from Kerala and that the test positivity rate for neighbouring Kasaragod is approximately 12 percent.

The positivity rate in Dakshina Kannada has fallen to 2 after a lot of work. It will be as easy as allowing new cases from Kerala to cross the border. He said that although it was difficult to implement, the district cannot afford not to make the RTPCR certificate mandatory. On Sunday, the test positivity rate for Dakshina Kannada was 1.81 percent.
