Earlier this week, TV actor Prabhakar was in the news for contracting Covid-19.  The 'Suryakantham' and 'Matti Gaajulu' actor has been isolated, reports say, ever since he tested positive for the virus. Following the development, as many as 33 members who worked with him were quarantined and tested.

The news is that the 33 contacts of Prabhakar have tested negative.  With this, the TV serial makers and the associated channel have heaved a sigh of relief.  The contacts were waiting for results, which got delayed due to a high backlog of pending samples.  They are now finally relieved.

There would have been a danger of some programs getting stalled had the test positivity in the TV industry risen because of the one positive.  For now, such a risk is not there.

On Friday, there were reports that an actor associated with 'Intinti Gruhalakshmi' had contracted the virus.
