An alarming spurt in the number of COVID-19 positive cases occurred in J&K on Saturday as five more tested positive for the dreaded virus, taking the total to 33.
"Hardly do I finish my press briefing - about 28 cases - that I get more unpleasant news... 5 new positive cases - 2 in Srinagar, 3 in Jammu, and all contacts of previously positive ones. All Jammu cases asymptomatic. We are at 33 now," government spokesman Rohit Kansal said.
