BENGALURU: The state’s technical advisory committee (TAC) on Covid-19 has made a formal recommendation that those not wearing mask be penalised. A final decision is expected to be taken by the government.
TAC chairperson Dr MK Sudarshan confirmed that the panel made the recommendation. TOI had reported last week that TAC was expected to suggest this in the wake of Covid cases increasing steadily and scientific analysis showing Omicron sub-lineages — BA.4 and BA.5 — as being responsible for the same.
