A large number of healthcare workers attending patients and implementing health schemes in Telangana continue to face the COVID-19 challenge. Health officials and hospital heads say the severity of the infection has been mild so far while some are asymptomatic.
Until Tuesday afternoon, around 119 post-graduates, house surgeons, MBBS students, and faculty members from Gandhi Hospital were detected with the infectious disease.
Around 62 patients, 10 post-graduates and a faculty member at the Institute of Mental Health, Erragadda, have also tested positive.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
