Vijayawada: The Information and Public Relations department conducted coronavirus testing for the journalists in the city on Friday.
T Vijay Kumar Reddy, I&PR Commissioner and ex-official secretary, who visited the testing centre on the premises of the State Information Centre (SIC) here appealed to people to treat the Covid-19 patients with humanity. "It is neither sin nor a crime to contact Coronavirus," he said.
