So far, the state has recorded 286 fatalities due to the viral infection.
The coronavirus cases tally in Assam surpassed the 1-lakh mark on Friday. More than 26,000 individuals have tested positive for the novel Coronavirus in Guwahati city alone.

Contrary to this, the health department has been making relentless efforts to control the situation since the very first day.
