Even WHO, ICMR faltered on Covid: Telangana CM

HYDERABAD: Chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Wednesday said the entire world is in a state of confusion because of coronavius. In the initial days, there were no clear Covid-19 treatment protocols even from premier institutes like WHO and ICMR, he said.
During a discussion in the assembly on Covid-19, he said: “A host of diseases and virus have come and gone, but coronavirus is a strange infection...no one knows what is happening.. There is no clarity on treatment or testing. Some say the virus will stay for 10 years, while others say it will be for a lifetime. Some say Russian vaccine will be out in three months, others says how can it (vaccine) be created so quickly,” he said.
The CM said even ICMR was revising guidelines, including on testing kits, regularly.
KCR said the state government is ready to spend Rs 10,000 crore for Covid- 19 management.
