The Telangana government has made special arrangements at public health facilities, including beds, IV fluids, essential medicines, and ORS sachets, to address seasonal illnesses. The Telangana Health Minister held a review meeting at the Secretariat to assess measures for the prevention of seasonal diseases, the preparedness of government hospitals, and the protection of public health.

According to newsonair.gov.in, the Telangana Health Department issued an advisory urging citizens to take precautions against seasonal illnesses due to a forecast of light to moderate rainfall and heavy rains in isolated locations across the state. The prevailing weather pattern could lead to lower temperatures, higher humidity, and an increase in vector-, water-, and air-borne diseases including malaria, dengue, chikungunya, jaundice, typhoid, and viral fevers. Citizens have been advised to take all precautions to avoid mosquito breeding and prevent mosquito-borne diseases. ANMs, ASHA, and Anganwadi workers have been instructed to keep emergency supplies ready.

According to deccanchronicle.com, Health Minister Damodar Rajanarasimha instructed officials to conduct prompt testing and provide immediate treatment to every person presenting symptoms of fever, dengue, malaria, or other seasonal illnesses with the onset of the monsoon. He called for intensified mosquito-control measures in coordination with the municipal administration and panchayat raj departments. Director of Public Health Dr. Ravinder Nayak briefed the minister on the current situation and presented district-wise case data.

According to siasat.com, epidemic cases in Telangana are fully under control, and compared to last year, there has been a decline in the number of cases. Public awareness campaigns helped in containing the spread of seasonal diseases quickly. Effective treatment facilities were arranged not only in hospitals but also in primary health centres.

According to telanganatribune.com, experts reported that the COVID-19 situation in India and worldwide is controlled and not a major public health risk. Some countries have seen minor case spikes of COVID-19, but hospital admissions remain low. India has mostly achieved herd immunity for COVID-19, helping to stabilize the situation. Occasional asymptomatic transmissions of COVID-19 occur in India but have little impact.
