Karnataka CM BS Yediyurappa’s driver, cook, electrician test positive for Covid-19

BENGALURU: Chief minister BS Yediyurappa will work from home for the next few days. Sources said the CM’s office-cum-residence, Krishna, has been sealed for five days for sanitization.
This is the third time the office is shut. Officials in the chief minister’s office said his four personal aides — a driver, cook, telephone operator and an electrician — have tested positive for the novel coronavirus. Three personal assistants are under the scanner.
After the first case was reported at Yediyurappa’s home office, the health department has been conducting tests on all employees who work with the CM every fortnight.
Of the four infected, the driver and the cook have had interactions with the CM.
Official residence Cauvery and home office Krishna are separated by a gate.
While the public has been banned for the next few days, legislators and ministers can continue to meet the CM, but will have to maintain a distance of 15 feet.
A special officer will coordinate with Yediyurappa in signing important files.
