Wear mask, keep virus under lockdown instead: DPH
With the huge surge in coronavirus cases, people in Telangana are wondering whether the government would impose a lockdown or curfew in the State. These concerns are mainly bothering daily wage workers, and business personnel. But, Director of Public Health (DPH) Dr. G. Srinivasa Rao, on Saturday, clarified once again that there won’t be any lockdown or night curfew. Instead, he requested people to always wear mask and keep the virus under lockdown. “If someone says they cannot do it, they should keep themselves and their family members under lockdown. Else, the virus can claim lives,” Dr. Srinivasa Rao said. Earlier, Health Minister Eatala Rajender too, ruled out a lockdown.
