Bengaluru: Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa will virtually attend the all-party meeting over the prevailing COVID-19 situation in the state, which is set to begin at 3:30 pm in Vidhana Soudha.
The meeting will be chaired by Karnataka Revenue Minister R Ashok, as Yediyurappa is currently admitted in a hospital after testing positive for the novel coronavirus on Friday. The meeting will see the participation of all MPs and MLAs, along with ministers of different fields.
The all-party meeting was scheduled to be held earlier, however, it was postponed after Yediyurappa’s COVID-19 diagnosis.
This is the second time that the 78-year-old BJP leader has tested positive for coronavirus.
“Upon having mild fever, today I got tested for Covid-19 and my report has come out positive. Although I am doing fine, I am being hospitalised based on the advice of doctors,” Yediyurappa said in a tweet on Friday.
In August 2020, Yediyurappa was diagnosed with COVID-19 for the first time, along with several of his family members. In March this year, the chief minister had taken the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and was due to take his second dose.
Meanwhile, the rising COVID-19 cases in Karnataka has created panic and concern among the public. The state recorded 19,067 new coronavirus infections on Sunday, along with 81 deaths.
