District sees hike in patient inflow, including many from Bengaluru
The number of deaths due to COVID-19 has been increasing in Hassan and in the last week (since April 26), 90 people have succumbed to the infection in the district. This includes 15 deaths reported on Monday. A majority of them are said to have died due to non-availability of ICU beds. This illustrates how cases are increasing outside Bengaluru too and health infrastructure is proving to be a big issue.

The number of deaths reported since March 23 is 149. On Monday, 1,277 fresh cases of COVID-19 were reported in the district. With that, the total number of cases rose to 42,313.
