COVID-19 Cases In North-Eastern States Rise

The number of COVID-19 cases in the north eastern states are rising after months of reporting almost no cases. With the union government operating Shramik special trains allowing migrants to return to their home states, the number of COVID-19 cases in the north east are steadily rising. Tripura, Manipur and Nagaland have the most number of cases with 838, 224 and 115 respectively. The only casualty among the eight states has been reported in Meghalaya. Andaman and Nicobar Islands reported 33 cases but all have been discharged so far while Lakshadweep has remained untouched by the virus.
