Karnataka is grappling with rising COVID-19 challenges as an elderly man from the Belagavi district died from the virus, marking the state's second similar incident. Harsh Gupta, the Principal Secretary of Karnataka's Health and Family Welfare department, confirmed the man's death.
The 70-year-old patient from Benakanahalli village was hospitalized at Belagavi Institute of Medical Sciences District Hospital, showing symptoms before testing positive for COVID-19. Having been moved to the dedicated Covid-19 ward, his condition was exacerbated by existing age-related diseases.
