The overall daily positivity rate in the State stood at 14.3 percent as 358 out of 2,508 samples tested returned positive results in the last 24 hours.

No Covid deaths were reported in the last 24 hours and as such the death toll remains at 2015, with Imphal West topping the chart at 676 followed closely by Imphal East (483).Pherzawl has not reported any Covid fatalities so far.

The recovery rate stands at 96.86 percent.

So far 1,28,231 Covid positive cases have been detected in Manipur.
