The government of the state of Telangana continues to deal with Coronavirus in a very inefficient and indifferent manner. A few days ago, a medical bulletin was released by the government, stating the number of new infections in every district of the state. The medical bulletin also mentioned that one private laboratory reported erroneous results, which has to be looked into. The name of the private laboratory, or any information regarding what has happened after that has not yet been released for the public to know.

On the other hand, the state of Telangana continues to test very few samples in a single day, despite the many warnings of the High Court. Neither a list of containment zones has been provided, nor detailed information about the number and kind of Coronavirus cases in the state has been provided yet. Without any kind of information being released for the public to know, it will be very difficult to stay out of harm’s way.

Sadly, Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) hasn’t responded to the situation of Coronavirus in the state, nor did he take any actions necessary to control the spread of the virus in the state, especially in Hyderabad. Thankfully though, the Governor of Telangana State, Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan has now tweeted, saying that she would be interacting with private hospitals tomorrow. She also stated that she would get into public grievances for redressal from them on beds, billings, etc., and would try to establish successful public-private participation for the proper eradication of Coronavirus in the state.

It is finally nice to see that someone is stepping up to save the state when the government has been miserably failing to do so. There is no clarity over why the Chief Minister hasn’t yet responded to the situation of Coronavirus, and why he isn’t taking proper action to save the state from a large scale calamity.

If the situation is mis-managed anymore, things will soon get ugly and out of hands. Let us all hope that the Governor will finally be able to do what the government has failed to do so far.

I will be interacting with private hospitals with Covid isolation facilities tomorrow11am regarding covid management & public grievances for redressal from them on beds , Billings ,tesing etc for successful pvt-public participation in #corona eradication successfully& cardially
