“The State Health Department has not given any such recommendations, as claimed in social media posts. All such claims are fake. At present, the Covid cases are not rising in Telangana and they have hit a plateau,” he said.

He urged people to continue to follow Covid-19 precautions. He assured that if people follow rules, the virus will be in control within the next three to four weeks. So there are no thoughts of a lockdown, Srinivasa Rao added.
