Hyderabad: In the midst of increasing concern over the omicron covid-19 variant, Telangana now rises to sixth place in the country in the weekly.
In the previous week, the country has reported 1,288 total cases, followed behind Kerala, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Mizoram.
Between December 12 and 19, the total case in the country was established at 48,457 with 10 countries, including Telangana, added numbers.
Strangely, Andhra Pradesh neighbors, who have a cumulative kasulation higher than more than 20 lakh, only reported 975 cases during the same period.
However, the AP is also between the top contributors for this case.
Telangana reported 180 cases per day on average in recent days.
Kerala has the highest weekly Kaseeload 23,766, followed by Maharashtra at 5,515, Tamil Nadu (4,481), West Bengal (3,903) and Mizoram at 1,294 cases.
Telangana is also between the top three states in this country in terms of omicron variants.
However, the authorities maintain the results of more than 1,100 tests conducted for secondary contact Omicron variants tested by people in Paramount and Tolichowki colonies under the wraps.
The test results have not been revealed even though the sample was taken four days ago.
Meanwhile, private hospitals have improved their guards after detection of a doctor tested positive for the Omicron variant.
There are only a few hospitals that provide medical tourism services and not all have a separate lounge and environment for foreign patients.
As a precautionary measure, a private hospital has stopped accepting foreigners who do not have a negative Covid-19 certificate, according to the source.
When the first case of Omicron was found, a dozen staff members at a private hospital were asked to remain in house isolation.
On the other hand, the largest nodal covid-19 center in the state, Gandhi Hospital, has started the sequencing of the sample genome.
Hospitals currently have around 50 Covid-19 patients.
