Titabor: Covid cases in India are on the rise and the latest omicron variant is making its presence felt.

Covid cases in Assam have also begun spiralling up. However, no omicron cases have been registered in the state as of now according to reports.

At least 12 students of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) in Titabor have tested positive for Covid 19.

7 boarding students of the JNV School hostel had been initially detected for the virus a day ago. Another five students had tested positive following another round of rigorous Covid tests which was conducted on all the students.

The infected students were then immediately isolated by the school administration. They have been provided with all the required medical assistance and are being taken care of.

As a result of this outbreak, the JNV school administration has decided to halt the classes till the situation comes under control.

They have said that normal classes will resume again after the situation comes back to normalcy.

In order to contain the spread of the omicron variant, the Assam government has issued a new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) along with a night curfew.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has urged the people to avoid panicking and instead comply with the Covid appropriate behaviour in public places.

However, the state government has announced that it will refrain from imposing lockdown.

Although no cases of omicron variant have been registered in Assam as of now, the threat still looms large. Hence, a sense of complacency could make things worse and we must be on our toes.

The state has so far detected a total of 580657 cases out of which 566101 have recovered and 5502 have fallen prey to the virus. The total count of active cases stands at 7707.
