Only 11 new Covid-19 cases have been reported in Telangana today, taking the total number of cases to 1,001.
All of them were from Hyderabad. But that is a misleading figure - just eleven new cases by itself in a city with 540 cases is good news.
The numbers of new cases in the five days until today is thus 15, 27, 13, 7 and 11, and so the trend of fewer cases is continuing, raising hopes that the lockdown is succeeding and that it be lifted on May 7.
In addition, 9 recoveries and no new deaths have been reported today. The total number of recoveries so far is 316, and the total number of deaths is 25, taking the total number of active cases to 660.
Hyderabad leads with 540 of the 1,001 infections, followed by Suryapet district with 83 and Nizamabad district with 61.
