As many as 250 government employees came from Hyderabad by bus to Secretariat to attend their duties following orders of the government on May 26. Doctors conducted tests at CK Convention Centre and allowed them to attend their duties.
However, after they joined the duty, the test result of one employee came positive, which sent officials into tizzy as well as triggering panic among the other employees who travelled to Amaravati from Hyderabad on the same bus with him.
