Karnataka, that has been consistently maintaining a Test Positivity Rate (TPR) of less than 1% since mid-March, is seeing a slight rise in this vital parameter in the last ten days. The State’s daily TPR rose from 0.74% on May 24 to 2.31% on June 10.
As many as 4,657 positive cases have been reported since May 24. Of these, as many as 1,950 cases have been reported in the last five days alone. From 471 cases on Thursday, the State reported 525 cases on Friday. Overall, 95% of the total cases are from Bengaluru Urban alone.
Although the State’s COVID-19 Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) that met on June 6 had said that the situation is still fluctuating, the number of new cases have nearly doubled since then - from 230 on June 6 to 525 on June 10.
