At the frontline of Mysuru’s battle against the Coronavirus pandemic is the New District Hospital or what is now called the Designated COVID-19 Hospital on KRS Road where over 250 beds are reserved for COVID patients.
This Hospital was first taken over by the Mysuru District Administration to treat patients who tested positive in the month of March when there was a spike in cases due to the infection spread from Nanjangud-based Jubilant Generics. The outbreak was treated as a cluster case and over 90 patients were being treated round-the-clock here.
