As per WHO guidelines, Covid-19 patients should be in the district for at least 14 days, to be counted in the positive list of that particular district.These 8 patients have not resided in Bagalkot district for the stipulated number of days, and above all, these patients were quarantined in the border limits of Belagavi district, and did not enter Bagalkot district, and so they will not be included in the Covid-19 list of Bagalkot.”
Our department appealed to the state level office in this connection, hence in the evening bulletin, these 8 patients were included in the Belagavi district list. The total number of Covid-19 cases in Bagalkot stands at 51,” said the DHO.
