Only 7 new Covid-19 cases have been reported in Telangana today, taking the total number of cases to 990.
Expectedly, the bulk of them were from Hyderabad - six. But that is a misleading figure - just six new cases by itself in a city with 532 cases is good news.
The other case was in Warangal Urban.
The numbers of new cases in the four days until today is thus 15, 27, 13 and 7, 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, 16 recoveries and no new deaths have been reported today. The total number of recoveries so far is 307, and the total number of deaths is 25, taking the total number of active cases to 658.
Hyderabad leads with 532 of the 990 infections, followed by Nizamabad district with 59 and Suryapet district with 46.
