*With Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa testing positive for Covid-19 and likely to rest even after he is discharged from hospital, the cabinet reshuffle — expected before August 10 — may be deferred by three weeks.
*Hundreds of doctors in several hospitals of the city who are on Covid duty are handed a nutritious and hearty meal twice a day by a Bengaluru-based volunteer group for over a month now. The group, Doctor’s Kitchen, took birth after many volunteers, during interactions with heads of Covid-19 government hospitals, realized that a decent meal was a luxury for doctors given time and resource crunch.
*Already struggling in the fight against the pandemic, the administrative machinery has been dealt a body blow, what with chief minister BS Yediyurappa, two ministers and several senior officials indisposed after testing positive for the virus. Besides them, at least five ministers and a dozen officials who held meetings with Yediyurappa over the past few days are now in home quarantine.
*With cases surging past the 17,000-mark, the heathcare system in North Karnataka districts, mediocre in the best of times, is now crumbling under the strain of the pandemic.
