The district also logged the highest number of Covid-19 fatalities in the state with 25 patients succumbing to the virus.

Except for the two people in their 40s, all the other victims were aged between 50 years and 90 years.
Health officers said the number of deaths was in line with the established pattern.
“The number of deaths began rising only two to three weeks after the cases started to spike.
It will fall only three weeks after the fresh cases plateau.
The district is likely to record the highest number of death as long as it reports the highest number of fresh cases,” said an official with the district administration.
