If necessary, even mild cases can be shifted to the taluk hospitals with the closure of CCCs amidst the big fall in cases. District Vector Borne Diseases Control Officer Chidambar told The Hindu that each taluk hospital had been equipped with 50 beds with oxygen supply. Any new case, if in need of a care centre, will be shifted to the hospital, he said. As on Tuesday, Mysuru has 1,437 active cases, including 150 patients in dedicated COVID-19 Healthcare Centres and about 100 in isolated COVID-19 Care Centres. There are 394 patients in private hospitals and 137 in the designated COVID-19 Hospital on KRS Road.
