Micro-plan, perimeter testing in wards with more cases
The Hindu
Over the past 10 days, 10 wards have reported most cases
While the positivity rate in Bengaluru has seen a significant drop, a handful of wards where the maximum number of cases are reported every day continue to remain on the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike’s radar. Data from the civic body’s War Room bulletin published on June 29 shows that over the past 10 days, 10 wards, seven of which are in Mahadevapura zone alone, have reported the most cases in Bengaluru. These include Bellandur, Horamavu, Ramamurthynagar, Hagadooru, Varthur, Hoodi, and Kadugodi wards. To keep a check on this, the civic body has set in place a micro-plan at the ward level and for the first time introduced perimeter testing where households around the affected residence will be tested.More Related News
