However, daily detected issues are still low in India. In the case of Manipur, there is no new Covid 19 active case not to speak of recording any new Covid-19 positive case.

The state’s vaccination rate (1st dose 62.5%,2nd dose 54.9% & booster dose: 2,79,099) is only about 20.86%. “So it’s time to get vaccination apart from Covid appropriate behavior, minimize or avoid the public gathering, international travel,” says Minister Dr. Ranjan.
“If there are symptoms like flu and fever, one should follow the government guidelines.”
