Of 848 COVID-19 patients in Karnataka, nearly 76 percent were asymptomatic: Health Dept
Bengaluru: Coronavirus infection in the state is on the rise. The number of asymptomatic patients is increasing. Increasing numbers of infected people with no symptoms have been a major headache for medical and administrative staff.
The common symptoms of coronavirus infection are cold, cough and flu. These symptoms are expected to manifest within 2 to 15 days after infection. In some people, it does not appear for more than 30 days. Therefore, it is a very complicated matter in detecting the disease.
So far, 848 cases of coronavirus have been found in the state. Of them, only 202 had symptoms while the remaining 646 cases were asymptomatic. 76 per cent of the infected people are living normally with no symptoms. This alarming information came to light in a report presented by the State Health Department.

Four of family found dead in Maharashtra’s Nanded district in suspected mass suicide
Nanded (PTI): A farmer, his wife and their two sons were found dead in two different locations in Maharashtra’s Nanded district on Thursday morning, in what police suspect to be a mass suicide, an official said.
Around 8 am, the bodies of Ramesh Sonaji Lakhe (51) and his wife Radhabai Lakhe (45) were discovered on a cot in their home at Jawala Murar village in Mudkhed tehsil, he said.

The bodies of their sons, Umesh (25) and Bajrang (23), were subsequently found on nearby railway lines. It appears they jumped in front of a speeding train, the official said.
Police inspector Dattatray Manthale told reporters, “The parents were found dead inside their home, while the sons took their lives on the railway tracks. We have asked a Forensic Science Laboratory team to collect evidence. The truth will come out only after a thorough technical investigation and autopsy.”
While the nature of their death appears to be part of a suicide pact, police said the exact circumstances remain unclear.
The family belonged to the small-scale farming community, but it is not yet confirmed if financial distress or a domestic crisis triggered the extreme step, the official said.
Neighbours described the Lakhes as a hardworking family who struggled against the odds of small-land farming to sustain themselves.
The Nanded rural police are recording statements of relatives and checking for notes or final messages left by the family.
