Karnataka has reported 16 active COVID-19 cases, while the national total has reached 257. The Union Health Ministry has urged the public to remain vigilant, emphasizing that early detection is essential for timely treatment and to prevent further transmission of the virus.

Among the new cases is a 9-month-old baby from Hoskote, who has been transferred to Vani Vilas Hospital for care. The Karnataka Department of Health and Family Welfare has issued an advisory recommending that vulnerable groups, including pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems, wear masks in crowded areas.

Dr. Mohan from K.C. General Hospital reassured the public, stating, "There's no need for alarm", but advised continued precautions such as mask-wearing and hand sanitization. The advisory highlights the importance of community cooperation in curbing any potential resurgence of the virus, especially as cases rise in other countries like Hong Kong and Singapore.
