Undivided H.D. Kote taluk has 154 out of 343 COVID-free villages
The daily surge in COVID-19 cases in Mysuru district is fuelled by outbreak in the city and urban areas while the rural hinterland has relatively lower number of cases. There are as many as 343 villages in Mysuru district that have been free of COVID-19 so far, providing the proverbial silver lining to the pandemic cloud. The daily case load being reported in Mysuru hovers around 2,500 and the positivity rate hovers around 40 per cent which is among the highest in the State. But a majority of these cases are from Mysuru urban and Mysuru taluk which is semi-urbanised and fast turning into an extension of the city due to the relentless horizontal sprawl.More Related News
