Bengaluru records zero Covid deaths on Monday, experts warn against lowering guard
Dr C.N Manjunath of Karnataka’s Covid-19 task force advised people to be vigilant as the third wave is expected to hit in the first week of October.
On Tuesday M R Ravi, deputy commissioner of Chamarajanagar district, announced the launch of the initiative to fight vaccine hesitancy. (PTI/File) Karnataka Monday logged the lowest number of Covid-19 deaths at 10, since the second wave hit the state in March this year, with Bengaluru recording zero Covid-19 deaths.
Dakshin Kannada reported a total of 3 deaths. Other districts reported a lower death toll: Hassan (02), Kodagu (01), Tumkuru (01), Udupi (01), Mysuru (01) and Belagavi (01).
However, the health experts opined that it is too early to lower the guard against the virus. They advised people to be vigilant as the third wave is expected to hit in the first week of October.
“In the last four weeks the number of Covid positive cases in Bengaluru have come down, with less than 500 cases per day. ICU admissions are very few. The second wave is ending but we cannot have a casual approach since the third wave is expected in the first week of October. The virus will hit severely in the third wave. The gathering restrictions should continue,” said Dr C.N Manjunath, nodal officer for labs and testing in Karnataka’s Covid-19 task force.
