Andhra Pradesh Records Two Deaths, Kerala Widens Testing

Andhra Pradesh’s COVID-19 case tally crossed the 1,000 mark on Saturday. The State reported two deaths and 61 fresh cases. Karnataka recorded 26 new cases, many of the new ones centred around a Bengaluru labour colony. Kerala, which had seven new cases, said its private hospitals were being allowed to put up test facilities.

With its new COVID-19 positive cases Karnataka tally touched 500. Bengaluru’s labour colony at Hongasandra ward was the focus, where nine of 13 cases in Bengaluru Urban area were reported. Those found in the colony were contacts of a 54- year-old migrant labourer. The number of positive cases in that cluster stood at 30.

A journalist of a Kannada television channel also tested positive on Saturday. He had visited a containment zone marked by the BBMP. Following this, 27 journalists, his primary contacts, were quarantined in a hotel.

“Although most of them have undergone tests for COVID-19, we will conduct another test on the 12th day,” said a Health Department official.

Nine cases from Belagavi, and one each from Dakshina Kannada, Chickballapur, Mandya and Mysuru were reported on Saturday. Karnataka also started trials for convalescent plasma therapy for critical patients.
