With the third wave of Covid already making its presence felt throughout the state, Assam is also feeling the brunt with the rise in the number of cases.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Sarma has made it clear that if more than 1000 cases are reported daily from the state then the government will have no other option but to clamp in restrictions. There is also a chance that physical classes for students below the age of 15 may get closed down. Wearing of masks will be mandatory in public and there would be restrictions in public gatherings. However, CM Sarma ruled out the possibility of a lockdown in the state.
