Karnataka on Friday reported 14,9 50 new cases of COVID-19 taking the overall tally to 38,75,724. Bengaluru Urban continued to witness a dip with 6,039 cases. The Test Positivity Rate (TPR) in Bengaluru has reduced to single-digit number (9.17%), the lowest since January 8.
The number of daily new COVID cases in the State capital have fallen by 80% from the peak of 30,540 on January 20. There has been a drastic decline in active cases too with 51,645 in the city under treatment.

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.
