Several beds in designated hospitals in Mysuru emptyThe continued fall in COVID-19 cases and fatalities in Mysuru has come as a breather for exhausted doctors and other healthcare staff, particularly those in the government set-up, who had been working strenuously from the past seven months battling the pandemic. Cases in Mysuru surged till October second week and have seen a drop since then. Several beds in designated hospitals here are empty. The designated COVID-19 hospital on KRS Road, which worked under immense pressure when the infection rate flattened, is being run in two floors with the drop in cases. District Vector-Borne Diseases Control Officer Chidambar told The Hindu that the crisis has eased with the sharp decline in infections.
