A part of the office of Jorhat deputy commissioner in upper Assam was declared a containment zone on Tuesday after an employee of the office tested positive for Covid-19.

Jorhat deputy commissioner Roshni A Korati said that eight new positive cases were reported in the district on Tuesday.

“One grade IV employee of DC office, Jitumoni Sharma, has tested positive for the infection. Hence, the building to the east of the main DC’s office building has been declared a containment zone. The building houses Bakijai, Land Acquisition and NRC branches,” the DC said.
