CM reviews COVID situation in Telangana with top officials
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has asserted that there is no scope for imposing lockdown in the State as it will lead to destabilisation of normal life and cripple the economy. KCR cited previous experiences as well as the impact of the lockdown in different states which did not yield any fruitful results in reducing the COVID-19 surge before arriving at the decision against imposing lockdown in the State. Mr. Rao conducted a detailed review of the COVID situation in the State with senior officials of the Health and allied departments here on Thursday. The review follows resumption of duties by the CM who had tested COVID positive on April 19 and had been in isolation at his farm house in Yerravelli in Medak district till he tested negative. The CM returned to Pragati Bhavan on Thursday evening and convened a meeting of senior officials to review the COVID situation.More Related News
