The home quarantined coronavirus s♔uspects and patients will have to send their selfies on the Quarantine Watch, a mobile application developed by Karnataka government's revenue department to keep a track of the isolated persons.
The government warned the home🦄 quar♈antined people that they will be sent to mass quarantine centres if they violate the rule.
In a press release, Karnataka Medical Ed🎐ucation Minister Dr K Sudhakar directed all home quarantined persons to enrol themselves and send their selfies on an hourly basis.
"All persoꦜns under order of Home Quarantine shall send their selfie to government every one hour from home," Sudha💮kar said in a press release.
The selfie sentꦿ from the Quarantine Watch contains GSP coordinates, wh🦂ich makes the location of the person known.
"If the home quarantine person fails to send selfie every one hour (except 🦂sleeping time from 10 pm to 7 am) then government team will reach such defaulters and they are liable to be shifted to the government created mass quarantine," the minister said in the statement.
Even those sending wrong pictures to mislead the team monitoring them will be shifted to the♔ mass quarantine.
The government quarantine check team during house-to-house visits will use th♛e application and click photo of home quarantined persons and send it to the government.
The decision comes following complaints that home quarantined persons were violating 𒆙regulations and roaming around freely ignoring gove🍨rnment directions.
