Imphal, July 26 2020:
COVID-19 Common Control Room Spokesman Dr Khoirom Sasheekumar Mangang has categorically stated that there is no sign or evidence of community transmission in any part of the State as yet even though the virus has been spreading extensively in Thoubal district.
Nonetheless, Dr Sasheekumar maintained that it is only a matter of time before community transmission of COVID-19 becomes a reality in the State.
He said that the ways authorities should handle COVID-19 when there is community transmission is quite different from dealing with local transmission.
No report has been received yet from Thoubal district authority about community transmission of COVID-19 in the State, Dr Sasheekumar said.
But local transmission is now a reality in the State, he said.
