HUBBALLI: It was a grim period for the districts of North Karnataka when Covid cases showed little signs of declining – a phase that continued till November – with the JSL plant in Ballari even becoming a ‘Cluster Case’ site. But the situation is much brighter now, with the number of active cases declining in most districts in the region.
In most districts, the number of fresh cases being reported has slipped to single digits, a steep fall from the dark days of September and October, when each district was reporting around 100 to 150 fresh cases every day.
