Testing of international passengers begins, but Karnataka yet to activate designated hospitals to isolate positive cases

Although thermal screening and 2% random testing of international travellers began at the airports on Saturday following the Centre’s guidelines, there are several gaps in the protocols that need to be followed after symptomatic international passengers leave the airport. As of now, the State has not activated any designated hospitals to isolate international passengers who test positive.
