KAMAREDDY: Fear of coronavirus in Kamareddy district has led to the closure of Banswada police station. A 62-year-old woman residing in Chaitanya Colony in Banswada tested positive for the dread coronavirus. Her son, who was the primary contact to the woman, went to the local government hospital for COVID-19 tests. However, the doctors said that COVID-19 tests would be conducted only on those who are symptomatic of the virus. Later, the young man went to the police station to lodge a complaint against the doctors for refusing to conduct the COVID-19 test. He created a ruckus at the police station as the police did not take him seriously.

Finally, the man’s wish was fulfilled as he was rushed to the government hospital where he was subjected to the test. But when his results were out no one else was shocked like the Banswada police as he turned out to be a coronavirus positive case. With fear running down their spine, the police authorities quickly sealed the police station and initiated sanitization of the entire premises.


The police have identified the primary contacts of the woman infected with the coronavirus and they were all shifted to the quarantine facility.
