Bengaluru city bus driver tests positive for COVID-19
He got himself tested for the infection while on leave for three days, the Karnataka-owned bus corporation said in a statement.
The driver had travelled to Kalaburagi and Vijayapura, both over 500 kms away; and contact tracing has been initiated by health department, the statement said.
The transport corporation, which resumed service on May 19 after easing of the virus-induced lockdown, launched air-conditioned buses recently.
"He (the driver) tested positive on June 10. He has been admitted to a COVID-19 designated hospital for treatment," the statement said.
However, he was asymptomatic when he had been reported for duty, it said.
