Bengaluru: Karnataka Revenue Minister R Ashoka has said at least 2,000-3,000 COVID-19 positive people in Bengaluru have switched off their phones and left their houses
Ashoka said, “We are giving free medicines to the people, which can control 90 percent of cases, but many have switched off their mobile phones. We don’t know where they have gone. They reach the hospital in a critical stage to desperately look for the ICU beds. This is what is happening now”
Appealing to the infected people, he said, “I pray to them with folded hands that COVID cases will only increase due to this (behaviour).It is wrong when you reach for ICU beds at the last moment”
He further said that police have been asked to track them.
