With Mysuru declared as a COVID-19 hotspot and one among the three districts in the State categorised as a “large outbreak”, the Mysuru district administration is mulling over tight regulations in locations where the positive cases had been reported. As many as 49 positive cases out of 61 in Mysuru had been linked to Jubilant Generics Limited, a pharmaceutical company in the town. “The positive cases have spread across Mysuru and nature of containment of those localities was being discussed with the district now being declared a hotspot. Now with the new regulations brought in following extension of lockdown till May 3, we shall have to concentrate curbs more in those areas and enforce tight regulations,” said Deputy Commissioner Abhiram G. Sankar. In Mysuru, the positive cases had been traced in Vijayanagar first and second stages, Gokulam, Janata Nagar, Kuvempunagar, Jayalakshmipuram, Nazarabad, J.P.
