COVID-19: New Daily Cases Remain Below 1K In Bhubaneswar

Maximum cases were reported from Patia (33), followed by, Sailashree Vihar (32), Dumduma (30), Khandagiri (28), Mancheswar (27), Old Town (24), Jharpada Jail (20), Uit-16 (19), Baramunda (18), Jharpada, Patrapada and Chandrasekharpur  (16 each), and Sunadrpada (15).
