The full text is as follows :

“As on today, the total number of positive cases in the State stands at 535. Out of this, the total active cases are 338, and 197 have recovered. All the positive persons are receiving medical care at the designated COVID-19 Hospitals. As per the severity of symptoms, all the 338 active cases are asymptomatic.

According to the daily report on Law & Order in the State, two violations of the lock down were reported as on 2nd July. Joint Secretary, Hiazu Meru while issuing the report added that two persons were bound down but maintained that no law and order incident has been reported in the State.

1. The State Government is of the view that the assessment of the law and order being precarious and grim and having deteriorated and collapsed since August 2019 does not appear to be factual. The State of Nagaland was born out of a political settlement. However, in the last 57 years of its existence, the political problem still remains unresolved.
