For the second straight day, coronavirus testing was halted in the Jagtial district. This happened due to a shortage of Rapid testing kits. Most of the people in the district have been exhibiting symptoms of cold, cough, and fever. As the number of coronavirus cases are increasing, people are worried and are rushing to the hospitals for testing. But due to a lack of testing kits, they are not getting their tests done.

On Friday, more than a thousand people, who went to different hospitals across the district returned home without getting their coronavirus tests done and the same situation repeated on Saturday as well.

A total of 20 vaccination centres have been shut due to vaccine shortages in the district. The health officials say that it may take two or more days to arrange the Rapid Testing Kits in the district. They also said that there is a requirement of around 10,000 kits for the district but only 2,000 kits have been alloted to the district. Health officials appealed to the people who are showing symptoms to remain at home till Monday.
