Even as Mysuru’s -19 surge and high positivity rate has become a cause for concern, the district administration on Friday expressed confidence that the cases would soon come under control amidst the ongoing efforts and said the greater aim was to make Mysuru “COVID-19-free” by July 1 marking the National Doctors’ Day. Speaking to reporters here, Deputy Commissioner Rohini Sindhuri reiterated the district administration’s resolve and expressed hope of seeing a drop in cases in the coming days amid various measures taken in the city as well as in the taluks for containing the spread of the virus. “We did control the cases in the last wave. After I took over as the Deputy Commissioner last year, Mysuru was reporting over 500 cases daily and the district administration had then sought 15 days’ time from the government to control the spread. And we were successful too. Likewise, we are confident of replicating it in the current scenario,” she said.
