Bengaluru, 25 May (IANS). The Karnataka Health Department said in an official statement that the city has died on Saturday after a recent outbreak of Kovid-19 in Bengaluru.

Several district hospitals including Dharwad have opened a 10 -bed ICU ward especially for patients of Corona.

Reacting to the increasing cases of Corona in Karnataka, Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao said that there has been a slight increase in cases in the state and Bengaluru, but there is nothing to worry.
Speaking to the media in Bengaluru on Saturday, Minister Rao said, “There is nothing to worry. It is a very common situation. There has been a slight increase in the number of Kovid-19 cases in the last 15 days.”
He said that we have issued an advisory stating that people with serious breathing diseases, especially people admitted in hospitals, should investigate Kovid-19. “
He advised people to be more vigilant and wear masks while going to crowded places. However, it is not mandatory to wear masks. In addition, there is no travel restriction or movement restriction within the city or state.
He said that everything is normal. So far 257 cases have been reported across the country and the important thing is that none of them have seen serious symptoms. Only mild symptoms have been found, so there is no need to panic.
He appealed to the public that Kovid-19 has now become a spatial epidemic. The corona virus has become a part of our system like any other virus. At any time, someone can have Kovid-19. The real concern is whether a new or serious form comes up.
Explain that the Karnataka Health Department issued an advisory on Friday that in the last 20 days, there is a gradual increase in the matter of spreading Kovid-19 in Bengaluru.
