Two persons died of Covid-19 on Friday in Telangana and 75 more persons tested positive for the virus. With this, the total number of persons with Covid-19 reached 229 and 11 have died.
As many as 15 persons have been discharged, leaving the total active positive cases at 186, Eatala Rajender, Telangana Health Minister, has said.
The total number of people after recuperating from the novel coronavirus has gone up to 32.
Meanwhile, the police have stepped up security at the Gandhi Hospital, the nodal centre for the treatment of Covid-19 cases, where a relative of a deceased patient attacked doctors two days ago.
The sharp raise in the number of positive cases on Friday is linked to the Nizamuddin religious congregation held last month in Delhi. The State Government has identified almost all of those who attended the Delhi gathering.
