In such extraordinary times, when hospitals should be in orderly condition, strictly maintaining hygiene, it is quite saddening to see the state in which the hospital is run.

Until now, Karnataka recorded 59652 COVID-19 cases, with 21775 cured and 1240 deaths.

Recently, Karnataka Health Minister B Sriramulu landed in a soup after saying that "only God can help us" in this fight against COVID-19 pandemic, drawing ire of opposition Congress. 

The minister's words that "only God can help us" were used by opposition leaders to target the government over its pandemic response. Karnataka Congress chief DK Shivakumar said the remarks reflect poorly on BS Yeddyurappa government's ability to handle the coronavirus crisis.

Sriramalu later clarified his remarks and said he only meant to caution people and his statement has been misinterpreted and misunderstood.
