The State reported 139 new COVID-19 cases on Saturday, with the day’s Test Positivity Rate (TPR) touching 1.37%. The State did not report any deaths on Saturday. It had reported 100 cases and a TPR of 1% on Thursday. 

In keeping with the trend, Bengaluru Urban reported most of the cases - 132 of 139 cases. While Chitradurga reported two cases, Chikkamagaluru, Davanagere, Kolar, Bengaluru Rural, and Ramanagaram have reported one case each.
