Karnataka on Saturday reported 8,906 new cases of COVID-19, taking the total to 30,39,958. Of the new cases, Bengaluru Urban alone reported 7,113 cases.
With this, the weekly test positivity rate (WTPR) in the State shot up from 2.5% on Friday to 3.16% on Saturday. The day’s positivity rate touched 5.42%.

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.
