The Hindu
5 to 433 cases in just 12 days
A festival in a Telangana district bordering Maharashtra involving around 50 people led to an outbreak of 433 cases in a span of only 12 days! This was the biggest outbreak detected in the State this month. The Director of Public Health cited this as an example to drive home the point on how rapidly coronavirus is spreading. The name of the district was not mentioned at the press conference on Saturday. Around 20 people from Maharashtra came to the bordering district to celebrate the festival, and they were joined by 30 people from Telangana. On April 4, a few developed symptoms of the infectious disease, and five people went for tests at a Primary Health Centre (PHC) and all of them tested positive.
