After several weeks, Health Minister Harish Rao reiterated the COVID-19 precautions of always wearing a mask and avoid moving in groups and crowded places.
On Saturday, the Minister directed officials and heads of all levels at government hospitals to conduct tests on anybody detected with COVID symptoms.
This comes a day after Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan advised the State Health officials to follow the Test-Track-Treat-Vaccination strategy and focus on COVID-appropriate behaviour, genomic sequencing, and other measures.
