BENGALURU:
As far as ‘records’ go, the second and more infectious wave of the novel coronavirus is cocking a snook at its ‘first cousin’ of 2020 and even its own dreaded performance of a couple of days ago. On Sunday, Bengaluru had reported around 7,584 Covid-positive cases – a new all-time high for the city since the pandemic broke out in March last year. Then, within the span of just three days, that ‘high’ also went into the dustbin when Bengaluru clocked 8,155 positive cases on Wednesday.
The city also reported around 23 deaths – a morbid reminder to Bengalureans not to lower their guard and continue observing Covid-appropriate behaviour.
The total caseload as on Wednesday for Bengaluru stood at 5,02,024, while over 4,33,923 patients have recovered from the disease. Bengaluru also has the highest statewide figure of 63,167 active cases. The infection’s cumulative death toll in Bengaluru is 4,933, according to the Karnataka Health Department.
