Only 465 cases detected as tests fall by nearly 35,000
A sharp drop in COVID-19 cases was observed in Telangana on Sunday as the number of tests fell by around 35,000. Every day, over 1 lakh samples are examined, and in the past few days, around 700 positive cases are being detected. However, on Sunday, only 65,007 samples were tested and of them, 465 turned up positive. This drop in tests, and therefore, cases, is not unusual for a Sunday. The new 465 cases include 70 from Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) area, 42 from Karimnagar, 33 from Suryapet and 32 from Khammam. Apart from GHMC which is a urban locality, the remaining three districts have been recording comparatively high number of cases.More Related News
