The number of COVD-19 fatalities jumped by 40% in one day, with the State reporting 70 deaths on Saturday. This is the highest number of deaths since the start of the third wave.
Barring four people, the rest succumbed in hospitals, with Bengaluru Urban reporting the maximum number of deaths at 13, followed by Mysuru (nine), and five each in Dakshina Kannada and Kalaburagi and Udupi.

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.
