Meanwhile, a startup has given 14 days incubation and has stated that all its employees have to work from home. “We have asked all our employees to stay indoors, and limit their family from doing the same. This is an extreme measure that Navya is proactively undertaking,” Gitika Srivastava, Founder of Navya, a city-based clinical informatics startup said.
State medical education minister Dr Sudhakar said, “Two new suspected cases from Bengaluru and one each from Udupi and Bidar have been identified, tests have been done and the results are awaited. They have been isolated.”
