Berhampur: The Rapid Antigen test for COVID-19 in Odisha Ganjam district showed zero positive results on Monday.
According to sources, 3597 Rapid Antigen tests were conducted during the day. The administration is yet to receive the RTPCR report, which takes about three days.
“The credit for this goes to all COVID warriors and team Ganjam,” said Collector Ganjam Vijay Amrit Kulange.
He urged people to use masks, wash hands regularly and obey all COVID regulations.
