Fatality count has, however, been a subject of debate
Telangana recorded no COVID-related deaths on Sunday, after a gap of 208 days. The last time the State had no fatality due to the virus was on March 2 this year. A few days thereafter, the second wave of the pandemic began unleashing unprecedented devastation.
The death count from March 2 last year, when the first case was detected in the State, till February-end this year stood at 1,634.
However, as the second wave started taking root in March 2021, the virus rapidly claimed several lives and till September 26 — a period of just seven months — the death toll rose by 2,278. Altogether, 3,912 persons have succumbed to the infectious disease in the State so far.
