Hospitals, located opposite Osmania College, in the city were asked to get themselves tested for COVID-19. The advisory came in the wake of the authorities declaring Dr. Hussain positive for coronavirus on Wednesday after his death on Tuesday. But later, his samples tested positive for COVID-19. With the results of 1,137 samples received till 11 p.m. on Wednesday, the total number of positive cases was 115 in the district. Due to slowing down of the testing process in the State, no new result was received till 6 p.m. on Thursday.
