Bihar's Principal Secretary, Health, Sanjay Kumar on Monday said that a total of 15 COVID-19 positive cases have been reported in the state.
"There are 15 COVID-19 positive cases in Bihar till now. Out of the 15 positive cases, three have fully recovered," Kumar said.
Refuting speculation about community transmission of COVID-19 in the state, Kumar said: "There is no evidence of community transmission. Out of the 15 positive cases, five had travel history. No positive case was reported today."
He said that a large number of people were coming to the state from outside and that was a big challenge.
Kumar said there was a shortage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kits but steps have been taken to improve the supply.
