Cases below 500-mark in WGH after many weeks

TURA, July 3: The surge in the number of people coming forward for vaccination against COVID-19 appears to be having a positive impact in the fight against the pandemic as West Garo Hills has recorded for the first time, in many weeks, active cases under the 500-mark.
On Saturday, the total number of active cases stood at 498. “After many days the active cases have fallen below the 500-mark,” said West Garo Hills Deputy Commissioner Ram Singh.
It is also the first time in recent times that no COVID-related deaths have been reported within the week.
Despite the decline in the number of active cases, authorities are not dropping their guard given the recent warnings from medical experts and scientists about a possible third wave of the virus.
