It has been mandatory for those coming from Kerala to Karnataka via the D.K District border to possess a negative RTPCR report to avail entry into the district. In the wake of this mandatory requirement, check posts have been erected at the D.K and Kerala connecting border areas of Talapady, Jaalsur, Nettanige Mudnur, and Gram Panchayat jurisdiction, where police are inspecting travellers and allowing entry to only those who possess an RTPCR negative report.
