BENGALURU : Nearly one in two households in Karnataka has people who need constant health monitoring, a government survey found, posing a new challenge to the state government trying to keep coronavirus infections under control while reopening the state.
Findings of the survey, released late on Tuesday, were published on Karnataka Health Watch Mobile app and web application, developed by State covid-19 War Room & Karnataka State Remote Sensing Applications Centre.
The figures are expected to increase pressure on the state’s inadequate health infrastructure and put the focus on regional imbalances.
Out of an estimated 11.68 million households in Karnataka, 64%, or 10.8 million households, were surveyed since the beginning of May.
