We have identified certain centres also for the camps and they are ready. They can accommodate any number of people as will be required by the Health Ministry," Reddy told reporters.The quarantinecamps are to keep the people who came to India from coronavirus-affected countries for a period of 14 days to prevent the spread of the virus in case they carry it.He said the ministries of Health and External Affairs have been appointed as pilot organisations to tackle COVID-19.According to him, the Centre has been issuing advisories to all the states as and when necessary."India shares large border area with China, the epicentre of coronavirus spread. Due to measures being taken by the Indian government, the virus presence in the country is very less vis-a-vis the population, he claimed.Reddy said there will be key announcements by the Union healthministry on the roadmap for the country on the measures that should be taken to prevent further spread of the novel coronavirus.After a fresh case of the coronavirus on Saturday, taking the total number of confirmed cases in Telangana to two, the state government has announced a slew of measures, including closure of all educational institutions till March 31, to prevent the spread of the pandemic.
