For the second successive day, the number of positive cases came down from 6,000 to 5,559, as stated in the media bulletin, which could be due to a relatively less number of tests conducted — only 65,370 samples were examined. About 8,601 persons have also recovered while there have been 41 deaths in the last 24 hours, said Director of Public Health G. Srinivasa Rao on Friday. The government has decided to restart daily press briefing by Dr Srinivasa Rao and Director of Medical Education K. Ramesh Reddy with the official bulletin to be issued in the evenings rather than the next morning as was being done in the past few months. There are 71,308 active cases. The death toll stands at 2,666 while the tally is over 4.88 lakh and recovered are about 4.14 lakh so far.
