SECUNDERABAD: With the number of Covid positive cases here reaching the 150-mark on Friday, officials of the Secunderabad Cantonment Board (SCB) are planning to start identifying containment zones from next week. Till the second week of March, the number of positive cases were between 80 and 100, but this figure has been rising steadily.
“If the trend of positive cases continues, we will have no option except to declare containment zones,” SCB senior superintendent (SWM) M Devender told TOI.

Based on current positive cases, the Cantonment Board has already identified certain areas in Rasoolpura, Annanagar, Picket, Trimulgherry, Bowenpally and Bollarum as ‘hotspots’. A 15-member sanitation workers’ team is attending sanitization in these areas, said the official.
The health department is already carrying out free Covid-19 tests at Picket, Bollarum and Trimulgherry. “On an average, there are 10 to 12 positive cases in each centre,” said a medical officer.
