Amid
novel
coronavirus
outbreak
in
India
as
well
as
in
the
world,
the
Karnataka
government
has
decided
to
shut
down
theatres,
schools,
universities,
malls,
clubs
for
one
week.
Karnataka
Chief
Minister
BS
Yediyurappa
has
said
that
no
one
should
travel
unless
an
emergency.
In
the
statement,
Karnataka
CM
said,
"All
malls,
cinema
halls,
pubs,
wedding
ceremonies
and
other
large
gatherings
in
the
Karnataka
have
been
banned
for
another
one
week." The
government
also
asked
doctors
and
other
medical
staff
to
work
on
holidays
as
well
as
week
offs
until
the
coronavirus
situation
gets
under
control.
The
statement
further
states,
"To
manage
things
in
a
result-oriented
manner,
doctors,
office
personnel,
paramedical
staff
and
other
permanent
and
contract
employees
in
hospitals
coming
under
the
Health
Department
have
been
instructed
to
work
on
all
public
holidays."
Well,
shutting
down
theatres
will
largely
affect
the
movie
business
as
many
films
in
Hindi,
Kannada,
Telugu,
Tamil
and
Malayalam
have
released
this
week.
This
decision
of
government
comes
after
the
first
death
of
a
76-year-old
man
from
Karnataka,
who
was
diagnosed
with
coronavirus.
So
far,
India
has
75
coronavirus
positive
patients
which
include
5
from
Karnataka.
