Though daily COVID-19 infections across the State have seen a decline, the growth rate of total confirmed cases between May 19 and 26 is higher in the rest of Karnataka than Bengaluru Urban. A study by Project Jeevan Raksha confirms the fears of a surge in infection in rural areas. According to the analysis, the seven-day MGR for Bengaluru Urban reduced to 5% between May 19 and May 26, from the 9% during the previous week [May 12 to 19]. But, for the rest of Karnataka, the MGR went up from 6 to 11% during the corresponding period. The districts reporting a high MGR were Uttara Kannada (18%), Chitradurga (17%), Chikkamagaluru (16%) and Mysuru, Gadag, Belagavi, and Hassan (14%). Those with a low seven-day MGR were Bidar (2%), Kalaburagi (3%), and Bagalkot and Vijayapura (7%).More Related News
