A day after Assam health minister Himanta Biswa Sarma claimed that there is no COVID in the state and hence no need to wear mask now,the health and family welfare department Sunday issued fresh notifications for mandatory testing of air and train passengers coming to the state from Mumbai and Bengaluru to check the spread of virus. Separate orders have been issued for air and train passengers and the rates for COVID testing by the department's Principal Secretary Samir Sinha. The minister had on Saturday said that there is no COVID in Assam and so there is no need to wear a mask now which triggered widespread criticism. Subsequently Mr Sarma tweeted, "those who are making fun of my statement on mask, must come to Assam and see how we have contained COVID-19 in comparison to states like Delhi, Kerala and Maharashtra along with an impressive recovery of our economy".More Related News
