COVID-19: Karnataka allows theatres, gyms, yoga centres and swimming pools to function at full capacity

In Karnataka, theatres, gyms, yoga centres and swimming pools have been allowed to function at full capacity. The decision was taken at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai with Health Minister, senior officials, and technical advisory committee representatives.

Health Minister K Sudhakar said, the decision has been taken after considering the current COVID situation and the rate of hospitalisation which was 5-6 per cent in January, coming down to 2 per cent.

He said, those going to theatres should wear masks compulsorily and food items will not be allowed inside the cinema hall. Health Minister said, two-dose vaccination is mandatory for those entering theatres, gyms, yoga centres and swimming pools.
