The total number of positive cases in the state are now 18,570. For the first time, the state has carried out 5,356 sample test in a single day. More and more patients are reporting to hospitals with symptoms and tests have to now be carried out as they are coming in severe stages.

The increased testing is bringing out more results. Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation has peaked with 998 cases, Ranga Reddy at 48, Medchal at 54 and Khammam at 18 cases. There are 10 new cases in Warangal (rural), 9 in Warangal (urban), 7 in Badradri Kothagudem and 6 in Rajanna Sircilla showing that the numbers in these districts are also slowly rising.

This is because of movement of people from one place to another. There are many people from GHMC areas who have gone to the districts and also many from districts are coming to city for their business and livelihood purposes and that is also leading to infections.

Experts state that masks, social distancing and sanitisation must be strictly followed to protect from infection.
