Cases of COVID-19 infection in Telangana have gone beyond the 200-mark for the second consecutive day. While 216 cases were recorded on Friday, 228 cases were detected on Saturday.
This is the second time since January 23 that over 200 cases have been logged in a day. One of the reasons for the increase in cases is increased testing. From March 1 to 12, a maximum of 41000-odd samples were being tested on a daily basis. On Saturday, however, 50,998 samples were examined. This was done after Health Minister Eatala Rajender directed officials to conduct 50,000 tests a day as cases are surging in neighbouring States such as Maharashtra and Karnataka, which share a border with Telangana.More Related News
