Assam will continue to be under total lockdown owing to their high coronavirus positivity rate while the movement of people to and from other districts across the state will remain suspended, state Health Minister Keshab Mahanta said on Monday.
These five districts -- Jorhat, Golaghat, Sonitpur, Biswanath, and Lakhimpur -- along with two others, were declared as total containment zones on 7 July for showing a high coronavirus positivity rate.
While the Covid-19 curbs have been partially relaxed in Goalpara and Morigaon due to a slight improvement in the situation, the other five districts will continue to be under complete lockdown, Mahanta said.
