Mistakes committed during Onam in Kerala will not be repeated: Minister

Mysuru, Oct 5 (UNI) In the wake of Covid-19 pandemic on the rise, it is decided to celebrate a simple yet meaningful Dasara this year, said Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar.
Speaking to the media here on Monday he said, Kerala, which had relaxed the protocols during Onam festival is paying for its mistake. Seven to eight thousand cases are being reported there everyday. We should avoid that mistake here. That’s the reason for celebrating Dasara on low key this year. The matter will be finalized after discussing with the Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and District in-charge Minister.
Earlier, the district was a model for our state where no casualties were reported due to Covid though there were a number of cases. Now it is slightly out of control. That’s the reason I visited the district to review the situation and give all instructions to control it. Newly appointed Deputy Commissioner has asked for a 2 week time to show some result, the Minister said. Now there is no shortage of ventilators in the State, but we need oxygen beds. We are preparing 33,000 beds across the state. I have directed the officials to conduct Covid tests on all senior citizens in Mysuru district.
