BENGALURU: The third wave is likely to peak next week — by January 25 — in Bengaluru, with daily fresh infections touching 35,000 cases, BBMP officials told chief minister Basavaraj Bommai during a Covid-19 review meeting on Monday.
Bengaluru reported 25,595 new cases on Tuesday, taking active cases in the city to nearly 1. 8 lakh. BBMP’s projection on the peak is based on the week-on-week increase, which is around 250%.
