“32 students are infected with COVID-19 at a college in Kolar Gold Fields (KGF). All of them are Kerala returnees. I will visit the college and take action against the college management. Covid has been brought under control to 700-800 cases per day from as high as 50,000 cases per day. The government has worked hard to mitigate the pandemic,” the minister was quoted as saying by Deccan Herald.
A large number of people from Kerala travel to border districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi every day for various reasons including work, educational purposes, and to avail medical facilities here.
According to the Deccan Herald, the health minister reportedly said, he would discuss the issue with the chief minister and further added that people entering border districts need to be under surveillance to keep the infection from spreading any further. He said they would also release guidelines for mandatory institutional quarantine for those traveling by trains and flights.
He also stressed that the schools must mandatorily follow all the COVID-19 guidelines and in case the number of cases rises above 2%, the school has to be shut down.

Saif Ali Khan attack case: Cops recreate crime scene with accused at actor's building
Mumbai(PTI): Mumbai police on Tuesday recreated the crime scene with the accused arrested for the knife attack on Saif Ali Khan at the actor's residence in upscale Bandra, an official said.
A team of 20 officials reached the Satguru Sharan building in four police vans around 5.30 am and were on the premises for an hour, the official said.
He said the police team entered the building through the front gate with the accused, Shariful Islam Shehzad Mohammad Rohilla Amin Fakir. Later, they also took him to the Bandra railway station, from where he had taken a train to Dadar, and to a place outside a garden where he had slept after the attack.
Khan (54) was stabbed repeatedly by the intruder inside his 12-floor apartment in the building on January 16, necessitating surgery. The police on Sunday arrested Fakir, a Bangladeshi national who was staying in India illegally after changing his name to Vijay Das, from neighbouring Thane city.
The official said after recreating the crime scene and going to places the accused had visited while on the run, Fakir was brought back to Bandra police station, where officials will interrogate him.
The metropolitan magistrate's court in Bandra has remanded the accused in five-day police custody.
