3 more patients discharged, total active cases 9 in Assam

May 01: It’s indeed a matter of respite for the people of Assam that the number of COVID-19 patients cared and discharged are increasing. On the 1st day of May, 3 more patients were discharged. Out of the three, 2 were discharged from Mahendra Mohan Choudhury Hospital (MMCH), Guwahati, whereas one of them was released from Golaghat Civil Hospital. Further, one patient from Nagaland, who was undergoing treatment at Gauhati Medical College & Hospital was also discharged on Friday.

This means that out of a total of 42 corona patients in Assam, 29 of them were earlier released. 3 of them were discharged on Friday. This would take the tally of cured and discharged patients to 32. One patient from Hailakandi district died at Silchar Medical College & Hospital (SMCH). At present, there are only 9 active cases in the state.

Glad that 3 more patients are being discharged today.

It is heartening to share 30 out of 33 districts fall under Green Zone, as per @MoHFW_INDIA categorization of India's districts. Only 3 are put under Orange zone, and none in Red zone. This is a cause for both cheer, and caution. We need to remain vigilant. #AssamCares
