The Karnataka government on Friday pointed out it is likely to impose restrictions on public celebrations ahead of the new year while ruling out the possibility of night curfew for now, amid an experts' panel report expecting a second wave of Covid-19 in early 2021.

The Technical Advisory Committee for Covid-19 in Karnataka has indicated the possibility of the second wave of the pandemic during January-February and has recommended to forbid New Year public celebrations the last two weeks of this month till January 1 and to impose night curfew in the period.

Meantime, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa in response to a question from reporters about the possibility of imposing a night curfew said, "..there is no such plans for now."

Health Minister K Sudhakar along with officials today held a meeting with TAC members on their advisory/recommendations to control the second wave.
