Mizoram churches offer halls as Covid care centres to tide over hospital shortage
Two Presbyterian churches — Tuikhuahtlang and Venghnuai — and the Young Mizo Association branch of Electric Veng have offered their halls as Covid care centres in Mizoram’s Aizawl.
Z.R. Thiamsanga, the vice chairman of Mizoram Health and Family Welfare Board, said, “The church leaders, community leaders and the people as a whole are very open-hearted to help the government. They set a good example in helping the government in time of need.”
He also said the state has only one dedicated Covid-19 hospital, the Zoram Medical College, where symptomatic patients and those with comorbidities are being treated. There are over 584 active Covid-19 patients in Mizoram.

New Delhi: More than 11 lakh tests done in the past 24 hours have failed to calm down India’s positivity rate, which is at 8 per cent, even as the government makes daily statements about “record recoveries”. Deaths are also steadily increasing, with 1,290 in the last 24 hours. Maharashtra has reported over 30,000 of the 82,000 deaths in the country so far.
----------------------------------------------------------------
New Delhi: India’s COVID-19 tally of cases galloped past 50 lakh, just 11 days after it crossed 40 lakh, with 90,123 infections being reported in a day, while recoveries surged to 39,42,360 on Wednesday, according to the Union Health Ministry data.
The total coronavirus cases mounted to 50,20,359, while the death toll climbed to 82,066 with a record 1,290 people succumbing to the disease in a span of 24 hours, the data updated at 8 am showed.
