Despite a fall in Karnataka’s test positivity rate (TPR) in the last seven days, at least 15 districts still have TPR higher than the State’s seven-day average TPR of 4.97% prior to February 9. From a high TPR of 22.65% on January 24, TPR has reduced drastically and has been hovering around 5% for the past one week.

While three districts have a TPR of above 10%, in the remaining 12 districts it is hovering between 5% and 10%. At 10.38%, Shivamogga has the highest TPR followed by Kodagu with 10.27%. The scenario was different a day earlier (February 8) when Mysuru, Kodagu, Ballari, and Tumakuru recorded a seven-day average TPR of 11.41%, 11.04%, 10.86%, and 10.51% respectively, according to data from the State War Room.

As on February 9, Koppal, Chamarajanagar, Chitradurga, Tumakuru, Mysuru, and Belagavi have TPR ranging between 7% and 10%.
