In Karnataka, there are three districts identified as red zones, 13 as orange zones and 14 as green zones.
The Centre on Friday designated 733 districts across all states and Union Territories into red, orange and green Zones. A total of 130 districts in the country are designated as red zones, 284 as orange zones and 319 as green zones. In Karnataka, the Union government has identified three districts as red zones, 13 districts as orange zones, and 14 districts in the green zones. However, the Centre has clarified that this list is dynamic and will be revised according to future developments. In a letter to the Chief Secretaries of all states and Union territories, Union Health Secretary Preeti Sudan noted that some states have raised issues on inclusion of certain districts in the red-zone list. The criteria followed by the Union Ministry in classifying a district into one of the three zones -- red, orange and green – is different from the state’s. Initially the Centre identified a district as a red, orange or green zone based on the number of COVID-19 cases reported from there in total, and the doubling rate of the cases. However, over time, the number of recoveries in many states increased, and the Centre changed the criteria to include more factors like incidence of cases, doubling rate, extent of testing and surveillance feedback. This list sent by the Centre is significantly different from that prepared by the Karnataka state COVID-19 War Room, and the latter’s classification of zones in the state. Here is the Centre’s full list: Red zones: Bengaulru Urban Mysuru Bengaluru Rural Orange zones: Belagavi Kalaburagi Vijayapaura Bagalkote Mandya Bidar Dakshina Kannada Ballari Chikkaballapura Dharwad Gadag Tumakuru Uttara Kannada Green zones: Davanagere Chamarajanagar Kodagu Ramanagra Hassan Kolar Chitradurga Chikkamagaluru Shivamogga Haveri Koppal Raichur Udupi Yadgir However, according to the Karnataka state government, the classification of red, orange and green zones is based on the following criteria. A red zone is one where there has been at least one COVID-19 case detected in the last 14 days. An orange zone is one where no cases have been reported in the last 14 days, but at least one in the last 15-28 days. A green zone is classified when the area has reported no COVID-19 cases in 28 days. Here is the classification according to the state government: Red zones: Bengalru Urban Mysuru Belagavi Kalaburagi Vijayapaura Bagalkote Mandya Bidar Dakshina Kannada Ballari Chikkaballapura Dharwad Gadag Tumakuru Davanagere Orange zones: Bengaluru Rural Uttara Kannada Udupi Green zones: Chamarajanagara Kodagu Ramanagra Hassan Kolar Chitradurga Chikkamagaluru Shivamogga Haveri Koppal Raichur Yadgir
