The Minister said that During the third wave, the hospitalisation from January 1 to 11 shows that among the 62,691 active cases, only 6 per cent are hospitalised and 1 per cent are in Covid Care Centres, while 93 per cent are in home isolation.

Whereas, in the fourth week of June 2021, there were 23,031 active cases. 19 per cent were in hospitals, 3 per cent were in Covid Care Centres and 74 per cent were in home isolation, he explained.

He also said that the test positivity rate in Bengaluru has hit 20 per cent as cases rose to 18,374 on Friday January 14. He was citing the data shared by the Health Department.

This is an increase of 18 per cent over Thursday’s tally of 15,617. Bengaluru accounts for three-fourth of the State’s total cases. The active cases stood at 90,893. As many as 90,041 tests were conducted in the last 24 hours, the Minister said.
