Even as COVID-19 transmission continues unabated, Wednesday brought some respite when the State registered more recoveries than new infections. While the number of new cases reported on Wednesday was 1,195, the number of recoveries was 1,234. The total number of recoveries so far has been 17, 537. However, the number of recoveries reported on the same day in the district, 528, came as a relief. The number of active cases in the district is also the highest in the State at 3,099.
