He said that the new cases of coronavirus in the state were all related to returnees coming from different states across the country.

“The state government has been taken care of all the returnees’ right from the time they started their journey till they reached the state by not allowing them to mix with other people and I am sure that we will be able to control the spread of the virus to the maximum,” Tynsong had stated.
