In addition, the State Government identified all those who are infected with the virus and made a contact list of people who are likely to be infected by the virus.

Based on this update, the State Government would also identify containment zones in the State.
Meanwhile, the citizens of Telangana are cooperating with the State Government and are strictly following the lockdown guidelines.
