According to sources, the highest number of cases have been reported from the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) region, areas of Medchal Malkajgiri, Khammam, Warangal and Karimnagar. The GHMC reported the highest number of COVID-19 (83) cases in the past 24 hours, followed by Medchal Malkajgiri (27) and Rangareddy (23.)

Despite the fluctuation in the single day COVID-19 cases, since the past 1 month, Telangana’s single day cases are constantly below 800 and fatalities are in single digits. The massive control of the COVID-19 cases during the second wave was due to the imposed lockdown in May. The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Government imposed a one month lockdown to control the spread of the virus and after a month long effective lockdown, they lifted the restrictions for the public.
In addition, after the lockdown was ended, the TRS Government asked the citizens of Telangana to follow COVID-19 guidelines strictly and avoid the unnecessary outings.
