Four persons in Guwahati test COVID-19 positive on Thursday, taking total number of coronavirus cases in the state to 53. Giving details about the development, Assam Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said, "One of them have come from outside Assam, and is in home quarantine, while 3 are from Guwahati."
Earlier in the day, Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal sought recommendations of the recently-constituted economic advisory committee for re-energising the state's economy hit by the COVID-19 outbreak.
Sonowal, during a meeting held here, urged the panel members to devise strategies to bring about an economic resurgence by creating a model that reaches the grassroots through the panchayats.
