Wearing of face mask will be voluntary,
Hyderabad:
With the COVID-19 cases declining significantly over the past few weeks, the Telangana government today decided to lift all COVID-19- related restrictions, including the mandatory wearing of face masks.
Face masks will be voluntary, except for the elderly, those with comorbidities and pregnant women, who have been asked to continue following the Covid-appropriate behaviour.
State Director of Public Health G Srinivasa Rao said the COVID situation in Telangana is fully under control, with less than 50 cases being reported daily.
The officials said that all beneficiaries in the 18 years and above age group have been administered both doses of vaccine.
Around ten districts in Telangana witnessed zero cases today, while thirteen other districts reported less than ten cases, officials added.
The Telangana government’s decision to remove Covid-19-related restrictions comes a day after Maharashtra and West Bengal on Thursday announced that all curbs related to the viral disease would be lifted.
Delhi also decided to do away with the mandatory wearing of face masks at public places yesterday.
The withdrawal of the Covid-19 curbs came almost two years after the pandemic struck in March 2020.
