Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister K.Chandrashekhar Rao on Tuesday decided to extend the ongoing lockdown in the state till May 30 to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

After receiving the opinion of the cabinet minister over phone, Mr Rao has decided to extend the complete lockdown, an official release from CMs office said here.

The CM instructed Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar to issue GO on the extension of the lockdown from 10 am on May 22.
