Summary: With a new one-day high of 1,502 coronavirus cases, Karnataka has crossed the 18,000-mark. With the recent spike in COVID-19 cases in Karnataka and Bengaluru, there is concern over whether the city can cope with the demand for hospital beds. A man, who later tested positive for coronavirus, died after being turned away from several hospitals. The municipal body, the BBMP, claims there is no shortage of beds - only that coordination on allotment should be better.
