There is a small dip in the number of COVID positive cases with 6,026 on Wednesday, compared to 6,361 cases detected on Tuesday, with the number of tests conducted showing a rise at 79,824 as against 77,435 tests conducted the day before. The official death toll count, however, rose by one to 52 from 51. The total number of active cases rose to 77,127 across Telangana and the majority of cases continued to be from the twin cities and suburbs. Director of Public Health G. Srinivasa Rao said in the official bulletin issued on Thursday that the fatality rate across TS is about 0.54% less than the national average of 1.1%. The number of people recovered is 6,551 and it means about 3.96 lakh persons have recovered from coronavirus, the recovery rate being 83.24% and more than the national average of 82% whereas the total number of those infected from last year is around 4.76 lakh.With the clock ticking down to the Lok Sabha election counting day on Tuesday, opposing fronts are perceptibly edgy and poised to continue the rancorous skirmishing that marked the campaign season in Kerala. The United Democratic Front, led by the Congress, is seemingly basking in the “interim victory” granted by various exit polls. The UDF discerns that its poll strategy of turning the polls foremostly into a damning referendum on the Left Democratic Front government’s perceived failures rather than BJP’s “divisive politics” at the national level stood a fighting chance of paying off.
