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.
