With the state election approaching, throwing to the winds appropriate behaviour will be the norm. And people, including those in the administration, are carrying out in the sly sporting activities, which is in clear violation of rules and liable to penalty.

IFP Editorial: Despite the daily surge, the state epidemiologists seems to be more concerned with the infection rate as against the number of test conducted daily. What is more important is the calculation of the R factor using different mathematical models, which would be more useful in pinpointing the nature of spread and in framing an adequate response.
N Biren Singh sought technical opinion on key points like manpower and material management, vaccination, nature of lockdown and containment zones, effective enforcement of SoPs, etc.
Thangmeiband assembly constituency MLA Kh Joykisan said authorities concerned must provide appropriate details of the infected persons so that contact tracing could be done easily.
From the increasing positivity rate that Manipur has been witnessing in recent past, one may infer that the second wave has perhaps arrived. Aggressive COVID-19 testing will show higher absolute positive figure.
We must enforce rigorous use of masks even in indoor activities.
