The country’s IT capital, in the span of just a few weeks, went from being hailed as one of the best Covid-19 managers in the country to grappling with a spike in caseload and deaths. Was it a case of too many cooks at work, or no cohesive strategy?
*Update at 9.55am: Single-day spike of 48,916 positive cases and 757 deaths in India in the last 24 hours. Total Covid-19 positive cases stand at 13,36,861 including 4,56,071 active cases, 8,49,431 cured/discharged/migrated & 31,358 deaths, ANI reports quoting health ministry.
*After a public uproar over the practice of nailing tin sheets to the front doors of people with coronavirus infection, BBMP removed the barriers from at least half a dozen houses in central Bengaluru on Friday. There was also sharp scrutiny of sealing methods and the role of private contractors, who, it seems, have built a business around BBMP’s overzealous containment actions, which ignore the revised guidelines for home isolation of asymptomatic patients.
*Caring for residents like one’s family is the key to successful management of any apartment, says the Melody Apartment Owners Association.
*The syllabus for state board schools has been revised and reduced by 30% in view of the academic year being shortened by the pandemic. The new syllabus will be uploaded on the website of Karnataka Text Book Society (KTBS) by Monday.
*Karnataka on Friday became the third state in the country — after Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu — to log more than 50,000 active Covid cases, and it’s the only state yet to achieve the grim milestone while its total number of cases is still under one lakh.
