As per a new order, only those patients who have an appointment with hospitals and state authorisation are allowed to enter Telangana. Amid a statewide lockdown in Telangana, tens of ambulances ferrying COVID-19 patients from Kurnool in Andhra Pradesh to Hyderabad were stopped at the Telangana border, near the Pullur Toll Plaza on NH 44. According to a new order issued by the state government, in order to enter Telangana, COVID-19 patients are required to have a prior appointment with hospitals and an authorization letter from the state government.
