Shabbir demands health emergency in Hyderabad

Hyderabad: Former minister and ex-Leader of Opposition in Telangana Legislative Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir demanded that the State government impose health emergency in Hyderabad and adjacent districts like Ranga Reddy and Medchal with high number of coronavirus cases.
"There has been a huge increase in the number of Covid-19 positive cases in Telangana State, especially in the GHMC limits, Ranga Reddy and Medchal districts in the last 15 days. As on May 31, there were 2,792 Covid-19 positive cases in Telangana State while the death toll was 88. On June 19, the positive cases increased to 6,526 and the death toll reached 198. It means cases and deaths have increased by more than double in the last 19 days. A total of 3,734 new cases and 110 deaths were recorded from June 1 to 19. This is extremely alarming and terrifying," Shabbir said in a media statement on Saturday.
Ali said that many experts have already expressed fear that the infection might increase further. "Almost 13% of 50,569 samples tested so far were found Covid-19 positive. With the State government conducting another 50,000 tests in the next 8-10 days, the positive cases might witness a huge jump.
