This is the first time, the country’s daily deaths count crossed the 400-mark — barring June 16 when adding backdated deaths by Maharashtra and Delhi governments took that day’s count to 2003.

Telangana

While a meager 3297 cases were tested on Sunday, 730 turned out to be positive. This is causing a great worry to the government and officials. The total positive cases in Telangana touched 7802 on Sunday and the death toll is 210.

Andhra Pradesh

In an interesting development, AP did a record tests on Sunday. Of the 24,551 samples tested on Sunday, 477 new cases were recorded and five more deaths. With this, the total count of Corona Cases reached to 8,929 and the death toll touched 106.
