GUWAHATI: Assam has not yet entered the most critical part of COVID-19, said health minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma.
Talking to News Live chief managing editor Syed Zarir Hussain on his show ‘Prekhyapat’, Dr Sarma said that Assam has not entered the third phase of COVID-19 pandemic.
“Assam has not yet entered the most critical part of COVID-19. The third phase is the main part. The remedy for the third phase is the increase of testing and health facilities,” Dr. Sarma said.
“We will be lucky if medicines and vaccines for COVID-19 are invented before we reach the third phase,” he added.
