With eight government COVID hospitals available in Tirupati, Chittoor and elsewhere in the district, the medical and health officials put up a brave front in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, but the fear of an uncertain future scenario is writ large on their faces. Chittoor district has been reporting the highest number of daily cases and casualties in the second second wave of the pandemic so far.

The daily average of new COVID-19 infections has crossed the 1,300 mark since mid-April in Chittoor district, taking the positivity rate close to 25%, causing a big worry to the district medical and health administration.
By April 22, the district witnessed the second highest number of 1.06 lakh positive cases in the State, and 935 casualties. As many as 93,900 patients have recovered and there are 10,318 active cases.
The COVID Task Force in the district is fully geared to meet any emergency situation, says District Medical and Health Officer M. Penchalaiah. "The district is bestowed with massive COVID care facilities. We have the services of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) at the disposal of patients. SVIMS, SVRR and Padmavathi hospitals are our major strengths. The isolation facilities provided by the TTD could accommodate a huge number of patients," he says.
