Telangana CM Hopes COVID-19 Cases May Drop With Effective Lockdown Implementation

Mumbai: With the effective implementation of the lockdown in the state, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao hoped that the spread of COVID-19 could lead to a slowdown in the state.

The CM held a high-level review meeting at Pragati Bhavan on Wednesday regarding the status of coronovirus and lockdown in the state.

“A high-level team of officials visited Suryapet, Gadwal, Vikarabad districts to examine the implementation of measures taken to prevent the spread of coronavirus at the field level,” it said in a statement.

The team later reviewed the Chief Minister on the COVID-19 status of the districts in the meeting.

Rao said, “We have identified all those who have coronavirus infection. We have prepared a contact list of people who came in contact with these people and tested them.”

Chief Minister Rao said that control zones have been created in the state “We have not strictly allowed anyone to go out of the centres nor allow anyone to enter the centres.”

Rao said that people exposed to COVID-19 patients have been kept in quarantine.

“Because of this, we can successfully stop the spread of coronavirus. On the other hand, lockdown is being implemented in the state. People are also cooperating. If people continue to extend their support like this and follow the conditions, regulations imposed by lockdown and at the containment centres, we will certainly get a good result,” the CM added.

Telangana has so far reported 945 positive cases including 194 cured or discharged and 23 deaths.
