Hence the officials should put more focus on Hyderabad. Whoever is having symptoms they should be given treatment and all those who came in contact with the positive cases should be quarantined.

"Corona spread is rampant in the neighbouring Kurnool and Guntur districts of AP. Appoint special officers in these border districts and see to it that nobody enters the state nor leave it.
