Following the Union Home Ministry’s guidelines, the Karnataka government on Saturday announced some relaxation measures in the COVID-19 lockdown, including allowing a maximum of one third of the workforce in the information technology and biotechnology sectors “providing essential services” and government offices from Monday.
Prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the Cr.PC, however, will continue all over the State till May 3. To contain the spread of the pandemic, the government has banned inter-district movement of people and movement of vehicles in other districts of the State till May 3.
After holding a meeting, Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa said employees in IT and BT firms providing only essential services can operate their business by allowing one-third of the workforce in their offices from Monday.
“Employees of IT/BT companies should come to offices in hired buses. Other IT/BT firms, those not providing essential service, should encourage employees to work from home,” Mr. Yediyurappa said.
Government departments not dealing with essential services would function with a third of the workforce and employees have to come in buses that would be hired exclusively for them.
Wearing masks and practising social distancing have been made mandatory and spitting in public places has been banned.
The Chief Minister appealed to senior citizens and vulnerable persons to remain indoor for the next three months.
