Amid the surge in coronavirus cases in Bengaluru, Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa is scheduled to review the situation today.

As per reports, Bengaluru currently has 1,272 positive cases, of which 796 are active in nature and are being treated at various designated hospitals in the city.
Bengaluru has also reported the highest count of 64 deaths in the state, which includes three cops who died recently.
