Telangana recorded 7,994 COVID-19 cases on Wednesday. The number of people who died of the infectious disease continued to increase. While 56 people died on Tuesday, 58 people died on Wednesday. One of the reasons for comparatively less cases could be drop in the number of total tests. From April 8, anywhere between 1 lakh to 1.3 lakh samples were tested. The highest of 10,122 people tested positive on April 26 when 99,638 samples were put to test. And on April 27 and 28, the samples examined were 82,270 and 80,181, leading to detection of 8,061 and 7,994 cases respectively.
