The State Health Department has blamed the Covid situation in several districts, which are under the total decline, for slow decreases in positive cases.
The Director of Assam NHM Lakshhman said the decline in the case of everyday countries had been quite slow.
This, he has been a major concern along with higher participants in several districts.
“If we can reach less than 2,000 cases this week which can be a significant increase.
Targeted testing has increased in the location where most cases are reported,” he said.
Even as a district like Cachar, which remains the most vulnerable, has increased extraordinary, Lakshhman warns that all trends can reverse in the case of “something new” happening.
“Something new will happen at some point in time.
But before our target is to bring the number of cases to at least 100,” he said while warning the public to obey Covid norms so that the second wave did not turn into the third wave.
Golaghat, Kamrop (Metropolitan) and Jorhat Regency recorded the highest number of cases in the last 10 days.
While Golaghat over it with 2,474 cases, in Kamrup (metropolitan) and the Jorhat respectively reported 1,868 and 1,702 cases during the period until Sunday night.
On the other hand, in districts such as South Salmara MANCACHAR and West Karbi Anglong, despite low vaccination, less than 100 cases have been reported in 10 days.
Lakshman’an said that the overall level of participation of Assam fell to less than two percent, only a few vulnerable districts still showed four to five percent.
