Hyderabad: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) recognising the services extended by sanitary and entomology workers during the Covid-19 pandemic has decided to provide free medicine to the staffers who test positive for the virus. The civic body on Sunday also announced that there will be no salary deduction for staffers under home isolation.

The front line workers who test positive for Covid-19 should save the message sent to their mobile phone or the details displayed in the government portal as a proof. The sanitation workers should submit the proof to their sanitary field assistant and the entomology staffers should submit the proof to their entomology field assistant to make sure there are no salary deductions.
