Bengaluru, May 27: A yet incomplete state-wide survey has revealed that there are over 53.99 lakh households vulnerable to the infection in Karnataka. The survey is being conducted by the government to find COVID-19 vulnerable population particularly with comorbidities and cases like SARI and ILI.
The survey, which is 67.16% complete so far, finds 1.37 lakh households across Karnataka have people with comorbid conditions, excluding a further 13,341 households with symptoms of Influenza Like Illness (ILI), Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI) and Covid-19.
Over 48 lakh households have senior citizens, who on account of their age are at highest risk of death from the disease.
Munish Moudgil, Director of the State COVID War Room, clarified that households could have multiple types of vulnerable people. According to the survey data (which is dated May 26), Kalaburagi and Bengaluru Urban have the highest cases of SARI, ILI with 1,902 households and 1,703 households respectively, although these numbers are likely to rise, as the survey is still incomplete in these districts.
A BBMP source said that 68% of the survey has been completed in the city, but the data has not been logged yet. The number of SARI/ILI cases is next highest in Shivamogga with 1,217 households, Mysuru with 1,200 and Davangere with 1,178.
The government regards SARI and ILI as indicators of coronavirus and on April 17, had passed an order instructing healthcare workers to test people with these conditions for the coronavirus. Consequently, 51 COVID-19 cases were discovered by testing people with these symptoms.
Belagavi, meantime, has reported the highest incidents of households with comorbid conditions with 12,427 identified so far, followed by Mandya with 9,289, Kalaburagi with 8,311, Shivamogga with 8,140 and Bengaluru Urban with 7,562. Importantly, 3,45,443 vulnerable people have been identified in Bengaluru Urban within 28.26% of data logged in so far.
Police used mild force to disperse the protesters in which some of them received minor injuries.

Good Treatment to Swami, appreciated...ha...ha..ha............
When the mind is empty about the knowledge of the CREATOR , YOU all will find people like SWAMY & their fans spread the hatred & support the EVIL without the knowledge of accountability of the DEEDS with the Creator. When we live in FALSE ideology - we tend to do INJUSTICE to the innocent and OPPRESS them...
Dear Swami and his fans should learn more about the CREATOR of all that exists.. who created the SKY without any Hole in it.. Please look up the SKY, try to find a whole .. LOOK Again try to find a hole... and then PONDER and think on the creation... The CREATOR will guide those who Ponder on his verses...
QURAN asks human to think & PONDER on the verses of the QURAN. and implement and research with the LIFE which ALLAH has given us... Many Scientist have already proven & accepted the word of ALLAH and with their deep study they are PROVING its the word of GOD which is FAR FROM IMPERFECT -- Praise be to ALLAH alone who created the heavens and earth...
Subbu Swamy...Deserves These kind of welcome...Don't Throw good tomatos.Throw only waste. Otherwise he will catch & cook it.
Why swami never tell about vyapam scam, chiikki scam, food scam, lalit modi scam? He only shows at others. First let him look into his own party memebers
An insult to rotten eggs and tomatoes. Swamy need stonewash.
indian Drama Leader,
FreeSpeech is the private property of Marxists on JNU campus -- not open for Ramdev or Subramanian Swamy.
