Bengaluru, Sep 9: The state government has issued order on cancellation of weekend curfew imposed on the borders of the districts sharing the neighbouring states.
This decision has been taken as the positivity rate is decreasing in the state. The positivity rate in the state is 0.73% at present.
In districts where curfew imposed, the positivity rate is below 2%. Thus, the weekend curfew has been removed.

If the cases increases, the deputy commissioners of concerned districts can impose the weekend curfew.
It may be recalled, weekend curfew was placed in districts bordering Kerala namely Dakshina Kannada, Kodagu, Mysuru, and Chamarajanagar, and districts Belagavi, Vijayapura, Bidar, and Kalaburagi bordering Maharashtra earlier in August due to high Covid cases.
