Meanwhile, six districts in Telangana including Hyderabad, Ranga Reddy, Medchal Malkajgiri, Suryapet, Vikarabad and Warangal Urban have been declared as Red Zones by the Centre. Gadwal, Nizamabad and 18 other districts figured in Orange zone, nine districts that have zero positive cases featured in Green Zone list.
