HYDERABAD: With no new Covid-19 cases reported in 14 districts in the past 21 days, the state government has asked the Center to upgrade them from orange to green areas. On May 1, the Center had classified only nine districts as green zones. But with an improvement in 12 districts, the number of green zones may rise to 23. Red zones are also likely to shrink in the coming days.
Speaking to the media on Friday, Health Minister Eatala Rajender said: “Suryapet, Warangal Urban and Nizamabad, which have been red zones, are now eligible to be classified as orange zones. We appeal to the central government to classify them as oranges. I have spoken to the Union Minister of Health and he said the announcement will be made on Monday. “” After all of these changes take effect, 80 percent of Telangana would be free of Covid and could function normally, “he added.
10 new cases
Meanwhile, the number of new Covid-19 positive cases recorded on Friday was as low as 10 and all came from within the GHMC limits. While no deaths were reported on the day, continuing the state’s streak of higher discharge rates compared to positive admissions, 34 patients were discharged on Friday. Currently, only 376 active cases are under treatment at the Gandhi Hospital. Although the number of positive cases registered in the State was 1,132 cases, the number of deaths remains unchanged at 29.
“Today, a 75-year-old man, who was previously in critical condition, was released. Another dialysis patient that we thought would die has been cured, “he said, noting that the medical teams at Gandhi Hospital also successfully performed a cesarean section on a Covid-19 patient.
