Two persons tested positive for COVID-19 in Dakshina Kannada on Saturday.
With the discharge of eight patients, the active COVID-19 cases in the district was 24. The test positivity rate has come down to 0.36%. A total of 31.04 lakh people have been tested so far, of which 29.67 lakh tested negative, said a communiqué by the Dakshina Kannada district administration.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
