As several villages, mainly in border mandals, continue to report sporadic cases of COVID-19, the district health authorities on Monday pressed into action special teams of field health functionaries to conduct another round of household fever survey to rein in the spread of coronavirus infection and also check seasonal diseases in the district. The move comes amid reports that the second wave of the pandemic still persists in several mandals of Khammam district, sharing a long border with Andhra Pradesh. Reports suggest that Khammam was one among the 73 districts in the country that continued to witness a surge in coronavirus cases despite a gradual downward trend in new COVID-19 cases in most parts of the country. These 73 districts reportedly recorded more than 10% positivity rate over a week ago.More Related News
