Of them, 1219 are primary and secondary contacts, 331 were suffering from Influenza-like Illness (ILI) and 13 had Severe Acute Respiratory Illness (SARI). This is for the first time that cases in Mysuru has crossed the 1,500 mark in a day in the second wave.
Worrying factor is that apart from cases from Mysuru city that has contributed the lion’s share – 958 – to the today’s list, Taluks too are contributing to the number. The Taluks surrounding Mysuru are predominantly rural and it is a scary scenario to see how the killer virus has spread into rural areas too.
