Priests stay off ash-immersion ritual | Mysuru News

MANDYA/BENGALURU: With Covid-related deaths on the rise, there has been a surge in the number of bereaved families visiting Paschimavahini, the ghats of Srirangapatna, about 20km from Mysuru, in the past 2-3 weeks. But most families have to fend for themselves since priests are not willing to conduct the obsequies amid Covid-19 infection fears.
On Sunday, the state government reduced the number of people allowed to attend a funeral or cremation from 20 to 5 people. This will be in force with immediate effect till May 4.
After a person’s death, his or her family members visit Paschimavahini to immerse the ashes. Priests there said there is a significant rise in the number of families coming to the pilgrim centre since the beginning of the month when the second wave of Covid-19 started.

MYSURU: The intensive care units (ICUs) of private hospitals in the city are filling up quickly as Covid-19 cases surge. Many ICUs have reached full capacity in the past few days, and experts fear systems may get overwhelmed if coronavirus infections continue to climb at this rate.
“Our ICU beds are full. A month ago, we had two Covid-19 patients in our hospital. Right now, we have 20,” said Dr Upendra Shenoy, chief of medical services at Columbia Asia Hospital. He urged people aged over 45 to get vaccinated.
Ninety per cent of the Covid-19 patients at the hospital are those who didn’t take the jabs. According to Dr Shenoy, people in the 15-45 age group are getting infected in large numbers, so citizens should strictly follow precautions.

No blanket ban on Mysuru tourist spots | Mysuru News

ST Somashekar
MYSURU: Much to the relief of the tourism sector, district minister ST Somashekar on Monday said the administration will not impose a blanket ban on tourists in Mysuru district but will only impose some restrictions.
In the wake of the Kodagu district administration imposing a blanket ban on tourists and the rise in cases across the state, stakeholders in Mysuru were worried a similar decision would be imposed. On Sunday, fresh cases touched 200 — the first in two months. However, Somashekar, who reviewed the pandemic situation during a meeting with officials including the district deputy commissioner, police commissioner and superintendent of police, said tourist spots in Mysuru will remain open.
