The seven-day average TPR remains the highest in Bengaluru Urban
Although the State’s COVID-19 Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) had said that North Karnataka districts will be the worst hit by the third wave as these districts have been lagging behind in vaccination from the beginning, the rate of infection continues to be low in these districts.
While the seven-day average TPR in Bengaluru Urban remains the highest at 11.63% as of January 11, Mandya, Mysuru, Tumakuru, Bengaluru Rural and Kolar have a TPR hovering around 5%.
North Karnataka districts — Haveri, Bagalkote, Yadgir and Koppal — have the lowest seven-day average TPR of less than 1%. Experts, who said this is a good indicator, asserted the need for these districts to sustain the low TPR by increasing testing.
