With no active cases, the state last month was declared coronavirus free after two positive patients were discharged post recovery. The number of active cases now stands at 1.
As a preparatory arrangement, District Rapid Response Teams (RRTs) and Surveillance Teams have been constituted in all districts, including 40 sub-surveillance teams in each district.
Covid treatment Blocks at JNIMS and RIMS are in readiness. Meanwhile, contact tracing is on.
Earlier on April 19, the state was declared Covid-free after the second patient tested negative.
Manipur’s first COVID-19 case was also the first positive case in the region, a 23-year-old girl who had tested positive in March upon her return from the United Kingdom. She was discharged from the hospital on April 12.
