Amid a recent rise in COVID-19 cases, Telangana’s Health Department has mandated outdoor face masks, imposing fines for non-compliance. The advisory urges vulnerable populations, including young children, seniors, and pregnant women, to limit outdoor exposure, and calls for heightened precautions for others, especially in workplaces. This move, reflecting the state’s rising active cases, is a concerted effort to curb the virus’s spread.
As COVID-19 resurges, Telangana is on high alert with 59 active cases reported. The state, witnessing a consistent rise in infections, particularly in Hyderabad and Karimnagar, has prompted increased testing efforts by authorities. A significant case at Osmania General Hospital highlights the virus’s relentless nature, as a patient with comorbidities succumbed and was later found to be COVID-19 positive posthumously. This situation underscores the persistent challenge and emphasizes the crucial importance of sustained public health vigilance.
