Another ruling TRS MLA tested positive for COVID-19 in Telangana on Monday, taking the number of party legislators infected by the virus to three. The MLA had mingled with the legislator who was found positive earlier, TRS sources said.
Last week, a TRS legislator from Warangal district had tested positive for COVID-19. The MLA, who had been undergoing treatment at a private hospital, was examined by doctors, who said he can be quarantined at home, official sources said.
The ICMR guidelines allow treatment of asymptomatic patients at home, they said. Meanwhile, a senior doctor at a state-run hospital, who has an advisory role with the government on health matters, is also in home quarantine, the sources said. The doctor tested positive on Sunday.
