in Bengaluru
Bengaluru, DHNS
In an incredible downturn, the state reported only
three new Covid-19 cases on Sunday. These figures constitute the lowest
Covid-19 increase in the state, since March 18, also when only three cases
were reported.
However, the state witnessed
its 19th fatality on Sunday with a 45-year-old woman (Patient 465), a Severe
Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI) case died at Victoria
Hospital.
The woman was admitted to
RGICD on April 24 but was subsequently moved to ventilator support at Victoria
Hospital until Sunday morning, when she succumbed to complications arising from
SARI. Three of relatives have also tested positive for Covid-19 and are
undergoing treatment at the hospital.
According to Health department
officials, the woman had visited a maternity hospital run by BBMP at
Moodalapalya (Ward 127), for bleeding, last week.
Among the three new cases
reported on Sunday, two from Kalaburagi , including a seven-year-old
boy, tested positive while one from Dakshina Kannada contracted virus.
The most illustrative is the
case of Patient 503, a seven-year-old boy from Kalaburagi who is a secondary
contact of Patient 425, a 26 year-old woman.
However, Patient 425 is herself
a contact of Patient 395, a 19-year-old man who was diagnosed as positive on
April 20. Patient 395 is a contact of Patient 205, a 55-year-old man who died
on April 14 due to complications from the virus. Curiously, Patient 205 only
had contact with a person who had returned from Delhi but had tested negative
for the disease.
