The bustling village of Erravalli, 10 kms from the district headquarters town of Vikarabad is facing the worst challenge of its existence in the second Corona wave that is playing havoc across the nation.
Three deaths due to COVID -19 of Patlolla Subhakar Reddy, Sadiulapuram Shamantha and Anajiah in a span of two weeks has left the locals dazes and fear stricken. While the first two died undergoing treatment in hospitals, the last one passed away in the village.
Fearing the worst, the residents pleaded with the district administration to hold health camps to test people for COVID-19. When recently a health camp was indeed conducted, 30 out of the 85 people tested positive for COVID-19 sending shockwaves. Erravally has a population of 1200 and locals depend on agriculture as their main source of livelihood.
