Officials sound alert over three COVID-19 cases in Andhra
VIJAYAWADA: The Health Department has issued a statewide alert following the detection of Covid-19 symptomatic cases in Visakhapatnam and Kadapa, and a surge in neighbouring states. All District Medical and Health Officers (DM&HOs) have been directed to intensify surveillance, public awareness, and preparedness efforts. The heavy inflow of traffic from affected states into Andhra Pradesh also adds to the risk of virus transmission. Three cases have been confirmed in the State, and one is suspected. A 75-year-old woman from Chagalamarri in Nandyal district was suspected to be Covid-19 positive at RIMS Hospital in Kadapa, after being admitted with a high fever. However, there is conflicting information about her status, with RIMS Superintendent Dr GV Rama Devi confirming her Covid-positive status and treatment in the Covid ward, while Kadapa DM&HO Dr K Nagaraju claimed the patient was suffering from age-related ailments. In Visakhapatnam, a 28-year-old woman from Pithapuram Colony tested positive, and her condition is stable under home isolation. Another family member and the doctor who treated them also tested positive. Health officials conducted a door-to-door survey and tested her family members, who have been advised to isolate. The Health Department has asked district authorities to prohibit mass gatherings, enforce Covid-appropriate behaviour at public transport hubs, and advise vulnerable groups to stay indoors. 'No need for panic, our health infra combat ready' The Health Department officials also advised the usage of masks in crowded areas, and people with symptoms are urged to get tested. Officials have been instructed to ensure the availability of PPE kits, triple-layer masks, and round-the-clock testing facilities across districts. The Health Department is taking all necessary precautions to prevent the spread of the virus and protect public health. Responding to a query from TNIE, Special Chief Secretary (Health, Medical and Family Welfare) MT Krishna Babu said, 'There is no cause for panic. The patient in Visakhapatnam is stable and under proper care. Our health infrastructure is fully prepared with sufficient PPE kits, testing kits, masks, and trained personnel. We are conducting genome sequencing and monitoring symptomatic individuals closely. The public must stay calm and avoid unnecessary panic. The government will continue to update regularly.'

How Risk Managers Keep Their Own Attendees Safe
Other events could take a page from the volumes of safety advice that Riskworld, the world's largest gathering of global risk professionals, creates for its attendees. Need to make sure your next meeting is safe for attendees? Use the playbook from Riskworld 2025. Its web site covers everything from security at McCormick Place Convention Center, where the event took place last week with nearly 11,000 attendees, to business travel safety. There's information on emergency procedures, a list of prohibited items (including firearms and explosives, but also things like pamphlets deemed disruptive to the event), a directory of nearby urgent care facilities and pharmacies, and a custom video created for attendees. Many of the tips apply to attendees at any conference: 'Remove your registration badge when you leave the convention center;' 'Do not display hotel guest room keys in public;' and 'Only use the main entrance of your hotel.' Preparing for the Unknown It's hard to identify the single biggest threat to a large event like Riskworld because there are so many, said Stuart Ruff-Lyon, chief events and sales officer at RIMS, the risk management society, which puts on the annual conference — the world's largest gathering of global risk professionals. RIMS had to activate its own crisis management plan in 2023 when a fatal shooting in Atlanta forced the organizers to cancel the final day of the conference at the Georgia World Congress Center, about two and a half miles away. With the shooter, who killed one and injured four, still at large, they sent home 9,000 attendees and 300 exhibitors. 'Violence and cyberattacks remain a top concern,' Ruff-Lyon said. 'But it isn't always threats that we have to address. When you bring thousands of people to one location, event organizers are bound to have attendees experience illnesses, weather concerns, challenging facility layouts, complicated shuttle routes, and other potential obstacles that are unique to the destination.' Multifaceted Security Plan RIMS employs security guards during the show to monitor entrances and exits to the convention center. Merrill Herzog, whose team includes former members of the U.S. Intelligence Community and U.S. Special Operations, manages on-site security for Riskworld. Chicago police and medical staff are also on site during the conference. 'In addition to those key players, everyone from our shuttle bus providers to our housing vendors are involved in security calls leading up to Riskworld, as well as taking part in the on-site security walk-through the day before the show begins,' Ruff-Lyon said. The entire RIMS staff pitches in to help. 'We count on their eyes and ears to address issues before they escalate.' Riskworld is also the first conference in the world to use a smart, incident-response technology called Gabriel Protects, which allows an attendee to notify the security command center of an issue, then provides instant communication to the attendee and visual surveillance of the area. Challenges With Changing Locations RIMS changes up its risk management plan for Riskworld every year. 'When a large-scale event moves from location to location annually, the biggest change is the security team itself,' said Ruff-Lyon. 'Moving from the San Diego Convention Center to McCormick Place in Chicago required RIMS and the security team to assess the layout of the new convention center, understand where egresses were, and devise a plan that made the most sense.' Then they had to make sure everyone was on board, from convention center leaders, to city executives, to the local police force. After the show, the organizers do a recap with all the partners and then start preparing six months out for the next year's show (to be held in Philadelphia May 3-6, 2026).

Woman found hanging in Jamshedpur hotel room; police probing suicide or foul play
Ranchi: A young woman was found hanging from a ceiling fan in a hotel room under Sakchi police station limits in Jamshedpur on Monday, police officials said. Police are investigating whether it was a case of suicide or if the woman was murdered and her body staged. The deceased has been identified as Rukhsana, a resident of Azad Basti in Jamshedpur. Her body has been sent for post-mortem examination. Police have detained two men, a woman, the hotel owner, and the manager for questioning. According to initial reports, a call was received on Monday morning reporting a suspected suicide in room number 506 of Hotel El Dorado in the Aam Bagan area. Sakchi police and City DSP reached the scene and launched a probe. Investigations revealed that on Sunday night, two rooms -- 504 and 506 -- were rented by a group comprising two men and two women. The men have been identified as Rituraj and Pankaj, both residents of Rajendra Nagar under Sakchi police station limits. The second woman is a resident of Mango locality. Several liquor bottles and objectionable items were recovered from the room where Rukhsana's body was found. According to police, the woman detained claimed that she had met Rukhsana on Instagram and had been invited by her for a party. However, none of the three individuals have provided a clear account of the circumstances leading to Rukhsana's death. City DSP said that the hotel owner and manager, who allegedly allotted rooms without verifying IDs, are also being interrogated. He added that the case would be solved soon. In another incident, two unidentified youths were found murdered near Balsiring bridge in Ranchi's Dhurwa police station area late on Sunday night. Their throats had been slit. Police reached the spot after receiving a tip-off and recovered the bodies, which were sent to RIMS for post-mortem. DSP of Hatia, Pramod Kumar Mishra, said the bodies were found a short distance from the main road in a desolate area. No one from the local crowd that gathered on Monday morning could identify the victims. Police suspect the murders took place elsewhere and the bodies were dumped at the location. Photographs of the deceased have been circulated to all police stations in Ranchi and adjoining districts. Authorities are also checking for any missing person reports matching the victims' descriptions.
