The news of Borah’s positive test comes just a few days after a teenage girl from Demow in Assam’s Sivasagar district tested positive for Covid-19. The girl had been suffering from a high fever for several days, prompting her family to take her for a Covid-19 test. Traces of the virus were found during a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT).
