Food is being supplied there regularly. The state has so far recorded 46 confirmed cases and five deaths.The total number of COVID-19 positive cases on Thursday rose to 2069 in India including 1,860 active cases, 155 cured, discharged or migrated patients and 53 deaths, said Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.( With inputs from ANI )
