Shamshabad municipality boost up disinfectant campaign to tackle infection

Despite regular disinfectant campaigns by the sanitary and health wing of the Shamshabad Municipality to arrest the spread of coronavirus infection, the positive cases are kept pouring in from the area that connects Hyderabad city with Neighbouring states especially the Bangalore city in Karnataka.

 

There are three covid-19 health centers formed at Shamshabad, Peddashapur, Narkhoda. It is said that 60 to 70 positive cases are reported every day in Shamshabad Municipality. However, it is said that the pace of tests at covid centers has dropped down in recent days that has significantly been reflected over the positive cases.

“Earlier, 100 to 300 tests were said to have been carried out in each center every day and 60 to 70 persons were found to have been positive with the infection. Now, as the number of tests were brought down to 80 to 90 in recent days the cumulative number of positive cases narrowly came down to somewhere between 10 to 20,” informed Mahmood, a resident of Shamshabad who is familiar with day to day events at the covid-19 centers.
