Bengaluru: The state government has started marking passengers at the city airport, required to be home quarantined as a precaution to contain the potential spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), informed Health Minister B Sriramulu on Thursday.
Taking to Twitter Sriramulu wrote, “COVID-19 passengers hands being stamped at the international airport, Bengaluru. #Indiafightscorona.”
He also shared three photographs of passengers being stamped at the Kempegowda International Airport.
The region above the knuckle of a fossil watch wearing man’s left hand bore the stamp: Proud to protect Bengaluru. Home quarantined till April 3. Officials wearing masks are stamping passengers at the airport.
On Wednesday evening, state Health Commissioner Pankaj Kumar Pandey highlighted that some people under home quarantine are not following the procedures properly.
He said the health department will stamp such people.
“It has been decided to stamp the back of the palm of left hand of such passengers with a specially designed stamp which will indicate the last day of the quarantine,” Pandey said in a statement.
The rectangular stamp will read: Proud to protect Karnataka, home quarantined till. With another stamp indicating the date in dd/mm/yy format.
