The positivity rate is over 10 percent in these eight states
Even as the country is bracing itself for an impending third wave, the government is alert and trying to monitor the corona situation across the country. The Center has asked eight states to bring in strict measures to control the spread of the deadly Virus. These eight states have a positivity rate of over 10 percent, which is a cause of concern as it seems to be steady for the last couple of weeks. The states that have been warned are Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Kerala, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Odisha and Sikkim. Stricter measures are to be imposed in containment zones with increased vaccination drives. Though the second wave is flattening out, there is still a threat of the third wave and all covid protocols are to be followed across the states.
