Assam is in a state of high alert after the first coronavirus positive case in the state emerged on Tuesday. A 52-year-old cleric, who runs a madrassa in Karimganj district, 300 kilometres from Guwahati, had recently travelled to Delhi where he visited Jama Masjid and Nizamuddin area, where a large religious gathering has emerged as a coronavirus hotspot with links to seven COVID-19 deaths, official sources said. The man, however, did not attend the religious event at Nizamuddin.
