TURA, May 24: Three days of a Covid curfew hasn’t been able to stem the infection rate in Garo Hills and Tura as cases remain high with each passing day.
On Monday, third day of the lockdown, witnessed 30 new positive cases in just Tura town alone while across the entire district 94 cases were recorded.
There has already been one death during the three day lockdown, a 59 year old woman who tested positive for the virus passed away in Boldorenggre, on Sunday.
In fact, Garo Hills has been witnessing a death from the disease almost each day since over a week when cases began to rise. While Sunday’s victim was from Tura, on Monday a 40 year old man who refused to be tested died from the disease in Rongsa Awe of South Garo Hills.
