Bengaluru is country’s district with highest active caseload

With nearly 1.5 lakh Covid active cases, Bengaluru Urban has become the district with the highest active caseload in the country, way ahead of Pune (1,16,602) as of Friday. The surging count triggered calls from public health experts for establishment of temporary care centres where patients can be stabilised at early states as any increase in severity can overwhelm the city’s health infrastructure.
