1,400/million in Karnataka in quarantine; it’s 4,000 in Bengaluru

BENGALURU: Karnataka has around 1,400 people per million currently in quarantine, while the number stands at more than 4,751 in Bengaluru, data from the state’s Covid-19 War Room shows.
Data shows all districts — except Chitradurga — have more than 300 people for every million population in quarantine, with Udupi, Dakshina Kannada, Bidar, Kodagu, Dharwad and Raichur reporting more than 1,000 per million alongside Bengaluru.

Chitradurga, with 231/million in quarantine has the least number of people in isolation, followed by Davanagere, Shivamogga and Chikkaballapura, while all other districts have more than 400 per million in quarantine.
Going by this analysis there are at least 92,000 people in active quarantine in Karnataka, which is about 8,000 less than last week, and more than 47,000 of them are in Bengaluru alone.
Further, separate data accessed from the government shows the number of patients who are recovering spend about 12 days in hospital on average, while those dying spend about five days. Comparatively, this stood at 13 days and six days in the second week of June.
The June second week data showed that in the last week of May and first week of June, patients spent about 15 days and 3.5 days, respectively.
Experts TOI spoke with have been insisting on early hospitalisation of people with symptoms to check the fatality rate, which as of July 4 was 1.6%. On average nearly five people in every million succumb to Covid-19 in the state.
