Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Thursday, June 18 said the state should have checked the entry of outsiders in order to control the spread of coronavirus.

He was, however, optimistic about the state being in a good position to control the disease.

He emphasized on wearing of masks, washing hands with soap, usage of sanitizers, maintaining social distancing, and other norms to check coronavirus.
The Chief Minister said that masks and personal hygiene have become part of life.
While lauding the administration staff, policemen, medical fraternity, and Asha workers for working round the clock in containing the spread of the infection, he said the state government has provided essential medical equipment to the COVID-19 warriors.
