Mahabubnagar: There is a gradual decrease in the number of Covid-19 cases being recorded across Palamuru region in the last one month, giving relief to the health authorities of the five districts of the erstwhile Mahabubnagar district.

This clearly explains that coronavirus infection has drastically reduced during the past one month. But, he said, one should not neglect the chances of getting infected with the virus and must follow all precautionary measures like wearing masks, social distancing and washing hands regularly.
Particularly, during Dasara festival season people should be more cautious as slightest negligence may lead to another spike in Covid-19 cases in the region, Sudhakar Lal stated.
