Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister said that paracetamol is the only medication for coronavirus.

He said that COVID-19 is lethal for those have comorbid conditions including blood pressure, asthma and kidney diseases. "There is no need to get panic about Coronavirus. Its impact is majorly on senior citizens aged above 60 years. It is dangerous to those suffering from diabetes, blood pressure, asthma and kidney diseases. For others, it is not so much dangerous. And paracetamol is the only medication for coronavirus," the Chief Minister said on Sunday while addressing a press conference on the postponing of the local body elections as coronavirus cases continue to rise.

"In case anybody coming from foreign countries is found suffering from cough, cold and fever, bleaching powder should be sprayed on their belongings and things they use.The government is creating awareness on such precautions," he added.
The Chief Minister slammed the State Election Commissioner's decision of postponing the local body elections for six weeks and alleged that the SEC was acting at the behest of TDP chief.

The opposition has targeted the Chief Minister on his statement, saying the chief minister is behaving "ignorantly" and "irresponsibly" on the issue of coronavirus. "While Telangana CM had changed his stand and closed shops and theatres in his state, the Chief Minister is speaking as if there is no need for any panic. This CM is behaving ignorantly and irresponsibly," he said. Andhra Pradesh has reported one case of coronavirus. The total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases across India has risen to 110.
