Sangma said that positive cases coming up is something expected simply because these stranded people who are coming back to the Northeast are coming back from ‘Red Zones’.
He said that those coming into the States of the region are screened properly especially in Meghalaya where strict testing protocols are being maintained and screening is very strict.
