New Delhi: The Union Health Ministry has asked ten States including Karnataka to impose strict restrictions in all districts that are currently recording a positivity rate of more than 10 percent.
The Centre said States must ensure that effective measures are taken to prevent crowding and intermingling of people in these districts. Positivity rate is the percentage of samples that test positive for a disease out of the total samples tested. A high positivity rate indicates the disease has spread to a greater degree among the sampled population.
