Odisha has witnessed a marginal uptick in COVID-19 cases, with the number of active infections rising to 15 on Monday, according to the State Health Department. The active case count, which stood at 12 earlier, increased following the detection of three new cases in the state.
Health authorities, however, have assured the public that the current situation is under control and there is no cause for alarm. "The rise is minimal and not indicative of a wider outbreak at this stage," a senior health official stated.
