The district administration has stepped up its efforts to track international tourists already in Mysuru and who have been put up in resorts, homestays and hotels in a bid to screen them for COVID-19. He said the district administration is furnished with information of Mysuru-bound passengers arriving at Bengaluru International Airport. But there are tourists whose first port of arrival is not Bengaluru and have come to Mysuru by train or bus or other means and efforts are on to track them. “Though we have appealed to the resort and hotel owners to provide the district administration with information there have been instances of non-cooperation’’, said Mr. Abhiram Sankar. He cautioned that in the event of any eventuality, those who evaded providing travel history or evaded being screened would be brought to book.
