    Desk:
    During the previous 24 hours, at least four
    instances of the Covid-19 virus have been recorded in three different locations in
    Guwahati.



    color:black">While speaking with the media about the unexpected increase of
    Covid-19 instances across Assam and the country, state Health Minister Keshab Mahanta
    said four people tested positive in Guwahati. Two cases were recorded in
    the city from the Sarusajai region, one from the Radisson Blu, and one from the
    Assam Police Battalion (APBn) in Guwahati.



    "There is no severe
    impact of covid-19 in the state right now," Mahanta added, "but we
    received reports of four people infected with the virus yesterday."
    Because their symptoms are modest, we have encouraged them to remain in home
    isolation until they are tested negative. It is not a matter of concern so
    far.”



    "Our health department is fully prepared for any situation that may
    arise due to covid-19 infection." We have designated beds and
    isolation units at each hospital, but no incidents of people needing to be
    admitted have been reported," he added.



    The Police Commissioner of Guwahati, Diganta Barah, tested positive for
    covid-19 earlier today, amid a surge in instances recorded across the country.



    The announcement came just days after a youngster from Assam's Demow
    tested positive for covid-19 last Tuesday.



    According to reports, evidence of the Covid-19 virus were discovered
    during a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) earlier on the day of the girl, a resident of
    Demow in Assam's Sivasagar district.



    The girl in question had been suffering from a high fever for a few days
    before the virus was found, prompting the family to seek a Covid-19 test.



    Doctors had advised her to remain in home isolation for the time being.
