State reports 26,685 new cases with test positivity rate showing slight dip to 20.35%
The State on Saturday added 26,685 new cases of COVID-19 to its tally when the results of 1,31,155 samples tested over the past 24 hours came in. The test positivity rate showed a slight dip, dropping from 21.78% to 20.35%. Even this seems to have brought relief in small measure to a State, which saw seven new records in daily case numbers in the past seven days. Six districts reported over 2,000 cases each, while another four had over 1,000 new cases each, indicating that disease transmission, which used to be intense in northern districts, is now beginning to be felt uniformly throughout the State.More Related News
