Bengaluru: Karnataka confirmed 84 covid-19 cases on Monday, marking the highest single-day increase in the state. Mysuru, the second biggest city and business centre in the state recorded one positive case today, three days after it announced that all 90 patients in the district had recovered.
This is the first positive case in over three weeks in the district that had managed to rid itself of the tag as one of India's covid-19 hotspots.
A 46-year-old man who had returned from Mumbai tested positive on Monday, according to the morning bulletin of the state health department.
The spike in cases comes at a time when the state government has announced a relaxation of restrictions and allowed more businesses to operate.
