Bongaigaon Green Zone to Red Zone: Now Five Covid-19 positive patients in Bongaigaon.
It is a very hard fact to believe that when the 2nd phase of lock down was about to wrap up then Bongaigaon is declared as 'Hotspot of Covid-19 virus'. Unfortunately, 4 Covid-19 positive cases have come out without any known travel history and Bongaigaon is declared as 'Red Zone' by the State Government. The news of declaration from 'Green Zone to Red Zone', created much havoc among the people of Bongaigaon.

They were in Home quarantine since 17 days. During routine test two times the result came negative but on third test, the result came positive.
Bongaigaon Administration has sent her to Mahendra Mohan Choudhury Hospital, Guwahati for isolation.
Another 4 positive Covid-19 cases have been reported in Bongaigaon on 30th April 2020.
Names of Covid-19 positive patients found in Bongaigaon are:

Reportedly, Dipak had been suffering from fever for a few days. He was taken to local hospital at Amguri on 25th April 2020. On that particular day, Srijangram PHC conducted sample collection for Covid-19 test. Along with the other 19 persons, Dipak's sample was also collected and sent for Covid-19 test.

Loophole in the management of Bongaigaon Block PHC
Some allegations have arised from some PHC health workers of Bongaigaon. According to them after random Covid-19 test was conducted in case of Babita and Anupam, then why they were permitted to continue their duty till yesterday without getting the test result? They must be home quarantined. This might be a big loophole in the duty of Bongaigaon PHC incharge.
Another allegation against Dr. M. M. Islam, PHC incharge is that he treated Jamatis secretly and he did not keep himself under Home quarantine. These allegations are made by some health workers infront of Media. But Dr. Islam refused all allegations against him.
Bongaigaon District Administration is keeping eyes upon his activity and behaviour. If any evident is found out against him then strong actions would be taken by Bongaigaon administration.
