HYDERABAD, MARCH 31. With jaundice spreading from the old city, the Health Department has been forced to deploy surveillance and medical relief teams in other parts. The first such team will set up a camp in the BHEL area on Friday. A decision in this regard has been taken after two cases were reported from BHEL on Wednesday and Thursday. Officials are mulling over sending teams to other areas as well with patients reaching the Fever Hospital on Thursday from Vanasthalipuram and West Marredpally. The teams are being sent to ascertain whether the cases are sporadic ones reported from among the floating population, including labourers, or whether they are from residential colonies in the particular areas, according to health officials. Meanwhile, nine new cases were admitted to the Fever Hospital on Thursday, while the number of patients admitted the day before went up from six to eight by Wednesday midnight.
Total cases
The total number of admitted patients is nearing 200 while the number of confirmed cases among these has crossed 150. The Health Department, which has tested 528 water samples collected randomly from different parts in the old city, found that 36 of these did not have the stipulated residual chlorine. The rest have been found `satisfactory'.
