In wake of growing cases of COVID pandemic in the state, Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has asked state officials to be prepared to fight the second wave of Covid. He, on November 22, asked them to take all preventive steps to deal with the Covid cases.

Once a vaccine is available for Covid, it would first be given to the healthcare workers, according to the CM. Maintaining personal safety is the best medicine for Covid, he said at the review meeting on Covid, which was attended by Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar, Principal Health Secretary Murtaza Rizvi, and other officials.

There is a sudden surge of cases in Delhi, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh. The CM added, “Cases are on the rise in Kerala and Karnataka too. It is estimated that with this, there is a chance of a second wave emerging. The state should be in a position to withstand even the second wave of Covid and for this the officials should be on high alert and be prepared to deal with it.”

The Telangana government would make all efforts and take steps to stop Covid’s spread. But this requires support from the public. According to the CM, people should be cautious and wear masks and follow all guidelines. Despite the increase in the number of tests conducted, the positive cases are 2.1% while the recovery rate is 94.03%.
