Social activist and founder of NGO Prajwala Sunitha Krishnan was admitted to the state-run Gandhi Hospital, Hyderabad on Monday, with suspected coronavirus infection.
The activist is being monitored in the isolation ward. Sunitha Krishnan returned from Bangkok on Sunday evening. After a mild cough and fever, she voluntarily got admitted to the hospital.
Can I make it very very clear that I am admitted in the isolation ward of Gandhi Hospital for suspected coronavirus infection as I have just come back from Bangkok with a mild cough. The tests have been done & we are awaiting the results. Any other news is fake!!!

“I went to Bangkok to address the Parliamentary group, and I spent two more days there. I picked up a cough from there, so I self-reported to the hospital,” Sunitha tweeted.
Just returned back this morning from a official cum personal visit to Bangkok with mild cough.Rushed to Gandhi Hospital to report.The display for coronavirus desk is prominent everywhere.But the urgency to ensure immediate response looks less than the desired level @TelanganaCMO

The social activist, however, felt that the readiness of the is not up to par.
“I’ve been talking to several international experts and they are all extremely worried about coronavirus. Here I see such lethargy. I came to Gandhi hospital at 9.30 am. After waiting for two hours, they took a look at me only at 11.20 am. Only at 12.30 pm they took some test samples. There’s nobody in the hospital to tell you how things pan out.”
Dear Media, in the name of reporting do not add fuel to fire, behave responsibly for godsake there are lives at stake!
