    There was a case of a ten month old baby at a village near Bantwal found positive of Covid 19. What happened after that? Is the baby alright? How did the baby get infected? Isn't it surprising that no further case has been reported from there? If no one else was infected it is like a miracle!

    Without mass testing such declarations are premature. Have the quarantined people and their households tested?.

    At difficult times if all the citizens of he nation set aside the difference and decide to fight the common enemy COVID is nothing for us . People of our Tulu Nadu have proven it to the world . Despite being politically so fragmentated - we all stood together for a cause . Salutes to everyone. Rest of the country can learn from this. If the empowered small lanes , Villages , towns , city’s , districts , states , regions and finally nation take it as a objective to chase the malady the virus will have no place to hide .
