As the Coronavirus cases are on the rise in Andhra Pradesh, the state government has taken a key decision of advising people over the age of 60 and with a disease like diabetes, heart disease, cancer, HIV and chronic patients not to leave their homes.

The government of Andhra Pradesh led by chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has made it clear that they would remain in the quarantine for another month. The government has taken the decision as it would yield to the dreadful virus easily. The state government has advised the family members to take care of them as they are also in the high-risk category.
