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.
