In Lakhimpur district, three more men tested positive for Coronavirus, taking the number of COVID-19 infected people in the district to four.

Following the development, an alert has been sounded in the district.

Lakhimpur District Magistrate Shailendra Kumar Singh said, “These men, along with some fellow villagers, were quarantined a few days back and their samples were sent to Lucknow. Out of the 12 samples sent, three tested positive.”
