Corona Cases Spiked in Telangana, Fears of Community-Spreading

There is a sudden spike in the number of Coronavirus cases in Telangana. In the late hours of Wednesday, Telangana Health Department released a Bulletin that there are seven more positive cases that takes the Total Count to Thirteen in Telangana.

All the Six cases are of Indonesians who have come to India for religious activity. A batch of 19 has come to India and already one of them is tested positive. That means a total of Seven Indonesians are tested positive in Telangana. What is more dreadful is that they have traveled from Delhi via AP Samparkaranti Express.

They reached Ramagundem in Telangana on March 14th. Telangana Government has written to Railway authorities for contact-tracing. All the passengers who traveled along with the same bogie have to be identified and have to be tested for COVID-19. This is likely to lead to a massive community-spreading.

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao is going to address a high-level meeting today.
