Mysore/Mysuru: A majority of
COVID-infected persons now are youths below 40 and this is because of sheer carelessness. “Mysuru reported 174 positive cases yesterday and today too, 170 cases will be reported. This indicates steady and high infection rate. We have found that a majority of youths are being infected,” said Deputy Commissioner Rohini Sindhuri.
Addressing a press meet at her Office this morning, she said that floating population in Mysuru too is contributing to infection rate. “90 percent of positive cases are reported from the heart of the city and primary and secondary contacts are not turning up for tests. In Karnataka, Mysuru has touched a positive rate of 1.9 percent and it has increased from 1.4 percent two to three days back,” she explained.
