Bengaluru Divided Into Zones But No Lockdown Amid Rising COVID-19 Cases

Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa today visited a massive COVID-19 care facility on the outskirts of state capital Bengaluru. With over 10,000 beds, the centre is a very visible way the state government is trying to tell the people of the city - we are prepared. But given the spurt in cases in different pockets of the city, from the Central Business District (CBD) to the outskirts, the sprawling city has been divided into zones. There are currently eight zones in the city.
