The terror of coronavirus is quite high in all the states of India. Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Govind M Karjol on Tuesday stated that he has been tested positive for coronavirus. "The COVID-19 test has confirmed me to be positive and I have been hospitalized on the advice of a doctor even though I had no symptoms," Karjol, who keeps the portfolio of public works department and social welfare, tweeted that soon after visiting the assembly proceedings. He requested those who had come in contact with him to practice caution, undergo tests and get themselves quarantined. He also radiated confidence that he would soon recover from COVID-19.

Karjol has been tested positive even after many precautionary measures were put in place ahead of the start of the Monsoon Session. Speaker Vishweshwara Hegde Kageri had made it compulsory for all representatives to get a negative RT-PCR test result 72 hours before the commencement of the session. Like in the Parliament, in the Karnataka Assembly too, representatives were made to sit in fiber-glass enclosures which parted them from their adjacent seats. While the session was originally planned for eight days, it was reduced to six days on Tuesday by a collective decision.

This is because at least 100 members of Vidhana Soudha secretariat staff, as well as diplomats, had already tested positive for the coronavirus. As part of Tuesday’s proceedings, primary opposition Congress-led by ex-Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee President DK Shivakumar asked a judicial probe against alleged misappropriation of reserves by the state government in procuring medical equipment in light of the pandemic.
