Mizoram health minister R. Lalthangliana Friday said though the state reports more cases of COVID-19 daily than other states, the number of patients affected by the disease and needing hospitalisation has significantly declined. During a meeting with health officials, doctors, NGOs and churches, Lalthangliana said that the crunch in facilities and other COVID-19 related crises in the state have significantly reduced owing to the decline in the number of patients needing treatment at the Zoram Medical College (ZMC), dedicated COVID-19 health centres, COVID-19 care and community care centres in the state.
