Bengaluru: Karnataka Director General of Police (DGP) Praveen Sood said that the people who disappear after testing COVID positive should be traced and booked under DM Act for their misdemeanour and irresponsible act.
He appealed to the people to stay at home and follow lockdown protocols.
Taking to Twitter, DGP wrote, “The biggest disservice one can do is to switch off phone and disappear after receiving c+ report. Such people shall be traced and booked under DM Act for their misdemeanour and irresponsible act. One may not have symptoms but still, be spreader. Be responsible, cooperate and stay home.”
