However, the state government will take preventive measures such as setting up micro level containment zones wherever the number of cases are high, it noted. What will happen to farmers (if they dont get labourers)? By imposing lockdown, the government itself would be creating havoc," an official release quoted Rao as saying. "If these people (workers) are dislocated once again it will be a huge loss to the state as Telangana needs a huge number of workers during the harvesting season. He further said the past experience reveals that lockdown is not effective in controlling Covid-19.Īccording to Rao, Telangana is the most happening state, about 25 to 30 lakh migrant labourers are earning their livelihood in the state and their lives were ruined during the first spell of lockdown in 2020.

He said the state had stocks of testing kits, and was in the process of starting new RT-PCR testing centres in all districts soon, adding that the state as on Wednesday, had a stock of 11 lakh Rapid Antigen Test, and 3 lakh RT-PCR test kits. The government had previously said that anyone with symptoms must assume that he or she has caught Covid-19 and should begin medication. The Chief Secretary’s comments come in the wake of the government earlier issuing instructions to all testing centres it runs across the state to limit the number of daily tests for Covid-19. The ICRM guidelines are a paradigm shift in Covid-19 management," he said. If this is done, then people get early treatment and the chances of Covid-19 patients turning serious will be reduced, and bring down hospitalisations. "The Indian Council of Medical Research’s latest guidelines suggest to begin treatment if someone has symptoms, something Telangana is already doing. In the event the symptoms persist even after five days of medication, they should seek medical help again and will be given additional medications as needed, he said. ![]() Those who are determined to have symptoms, will be given medicine kits for Covid-19 and should start medication and isolate themselves.
