Assam Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday stated that lockdown has not been announced and there is no possibility of going back to lockdown days in the poll-bound state now.
“A few cases hovering around 20 per day may continue to be reported. When we did not impose lockdown there were 3,500 cases per day. There is absolutely no need to panic. And there is no question of a lockdown now,” Himanta Biswa Sarma said.
Meanwhile, when being asked about the COVID situation in the state, the Assam Minister said,” Every day 9 to 20 positive cases are being reported and this has been going on since last month. This will continue as many people visit Assam every day from other states of India. Yesterday, there were 14 cases and 7 cases were reported the day before yesterday. The figure is expected to remain the same. There is no reason to panic. I think the COVID-19 situation is under control in the state.”
