बेंगलुरु/चेन्नै न्यूज़: Covid-19 in Bengaluru 25 अप्रैल को बेंगलुरु में 1.8 लाख से ज्यादा ऐक्टिव (Coronavirus active cases in bengaluru) केस थे। राज्य के कुल कोरोना मामलों में से आधे यानी 50 प्रतिशत केस का बोझ बेंगलुरु पर पड़ रहा है। 9 दिन के अंदर ही ऐक्टिव केस की संख्या 3 लाख को पार कर गई।
He warned the city is “at a tipping point”. “If we don’t take action now, Bengaluru will see 1,000 cases a day,” he said. “Once we hit that mark, it will increase exponentially, and it will become very difficult to control. This will lead to an increase in ICU admissions. We will have to re-do whatever we did last year.” He also urged the government to engage private hospitals again to treat Covid patients.
Responsible behaviour
