Bengaluru, Jun 2: Karnataka recorded a biggest single day spike of 388 COVID-19 cases, with returnees from neighboring Maharashtra continuing to add to the state's tally, taking the total number of infections in the state to 3,796, the health department said on Tuesday.
With 367 out of 388 new cases being returnees from other states, mostly from neighboring Maharashtra (357), the Karnataka government said it was mulling over increasing institutional quarantine for those returning from the western state. Meanwhile, achieving a milestone in the battle against the coronavirus,the Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences at Hubballi has successfully treated a COVID-19 patient through plasma therapy.
"Maharashtra (returnees) is a major worry for us, already 15,000-20,000 people have come from Maharashtra, still 2000 odd people may come to each district, as we have allowed so many people already, we have decided to allow them also, Revenue Minister R Ahoka said.
Speaking to reporters here, he said ".....cases coming from Bombay and Pune are turning out to be positive, we have to take extra caution, seven days quarantine (institutional) is of no use, we want to increase it specifically for those returning from Maharashtra.
We will take a decision soon and issue order." Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa earlier directed district authorities including the Deputy Commissioners and Superintendents of Police to camp at taluk centres and work towards curbing the spread of COVID-19. Pointing out that COVID-19 cases were increasing in the state because of returnees from Maharashtra, he asked officials to take all necessary measures to check it, his office said in a release. The previous biggest single-day spike was recorded on May 31 with 299 cases. As of June 2 evening, cumulatively 3,796 COVID-19 positive cases have been confirmed in the state, which includes 52 deaths and 1,403 discharges, the health department said in its bulletin.
It said out of 2,339 active cases, 2,325 patients are in isolation at designated hospitals and are stable, while 14 are in ICU.
According to the bulletin,75 patients have been discharged today.
Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar said Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences in Hubballi has successfully treated a COVID-19 patient through Plasma Therapy.
"Karnataka achieves yet another milestone in battle against #COVID19.
KIMS Hubli has successfully treated a Covid19 patient through Plasma Therapy & is the first institute in the state to accomplish this. Congrats to KIMS doctors & staff for this feat!" the Minister tweeted.

Hahaha. Maharashtra intelligence department is very shrewd. It knows how to trap thieves. Now it will say it cannot arrest. Once he comes to indian, then he will spend rest of his life in prison like abdul naser madani..
Alhamdulillah, Truth always wins. No matter Arnab or any other haters try to malign him.I think IRF should file a case against Times now and Arnab Go swami now, Its time to ban Times Now.
Most of the media is not publishing this news.All the haters of Dr. Naik please apply some Burnol to your A** so that you will get some relief.
Being an hindu. I have gone through many clips. But media showed only half truth. Which is dangerous. Dr naik only wanted hindu and muslims unite and love other. If this is wrong. Then i hate rss vhp...
They opened their own grave by bringing dr naik issue.
Al Hamdulillah....Allahu Akbar
Al Hamdulillah.. Allah is great.. Remember chelas and chaddis.. Dr. Zakir Naik has prayers from All Over the world Muslims.. In Sha Allah he will win because he preaches only n ONLY PEACE.. May Allah give him Afiyath.. Ameen..
