GUWAHATI: With more than 2,000 cases still being reported daily, the path of recovery of Covid is still almost three weeks away as compared to Delhi.
Health experts said the number of new cases has remained stable over the past few days. “There is a decreasing trend in Covid cases if we analyze the scenario from April onwards when the graph shooting of Covid started. But it has to be kept in mind that comparatively small state like state Assam Adding 2,000 to 3,000 cases a day to the all-India figure of around 50,000. It can be concluded that Assam is not on the safe side,” said a senior health official.

A senior government official said, “Districts which are still reporting high number of cases may have strict restrictions at select blocks and panchayat level.
