There has been an increase in numbers since March first week
Nearly 13 months after recording its first COVID-19 case, Karnataka breached the one million mark and hit 10,01,238, as 4,234 persons tested positive on Thursday. Over 43% of this total caseload is from Bengaluru Urban alone. Over 10% of the total caseload has been reported in the last three months. The State had reported 9,00,214 cases till December 12 and has since then added 1,01,024 cases to its tally. This brings Karnataka to the third position in the country, after Maharashtra and Kerala. With 30,865 active cases as on Thursday, Karnataka is in the second position among States after Maharashtra on this count. Fuelled by a spike in cases in Bengaluru, the situation in Karnataka took a turn for the worse from the beginning of July by breaching the 2,000 mark daily initially. It subsequently jumped to over 5,000 per day, and later to over 10,000 cases a day in September.More Related News
