![]() The less number of tuberculosis deaths in 2021 is attributed to the COVID-19 lockdowns, and precautions like wearing face mask and maintaining social distancing. As many as 451 persons had succumbed to the disease in 2019 and 372 persons in 2020. Ballari taluk accounted for 93 deaths followed by Siruguppa (34) and Hospet (33). It found that 247 people had died of tuberculosis in the last nine months. They visited various hospitals across the undivided Ballari district for three days last week and collected information from hospital authorities, patients and their relatives. A team of health experts that visited Ballari recently on the directions of the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare for getting firsthand information on the prevalence of tuberculosis, has alerted the administration about the high rate of tuberculosis deaths in the district.
