Telangana recorded six new cases of COVID-19 on Thursday taking the state’s tally to 19 cases. Medak and Rangareddy districts reported one case each, while Hyderabad recorded four new cases of COVID-19.
In response to the emergence of new COVID-19 cases in the city, the Director of Public Health and Family Welfare of Telangana has made wearing masks mandatory. Not wearing a mask is punishable by a fine, as stated by the director.
In the past seven days, Hyderabad has recorded 10 of 19 cases of COVID-19 in the State. The director, in a press release, has appealed to the public to remain cautious amid a recent surge in COVID-19 cases in neighbouring states.
Children under 10 years of age, pregnant mothers, and elders above 60 years are advised to avoid going outdoors unless mandatory. Given a higher incidence of COVID disease in the age group of 20 to 50 years, people are requested to exercise due precaution while going to work or engaging in essential activities. Apart from wearing masks, maintaining a distance of more than 6ft between people is important.
People with co-morbid conditions like hypertension, diabetes, cardiac illness, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer, and/or any other chronic illness are requested to stay indoors and avoid any kind of travel except for medical care to avoid exposure to COVID, the press release said.
