Bhubaneswar, April 21: The state has now seen five more cases of COVID 19 as five persons from Balasore district alone have tested positive for the global pandemic in a single day.

The State Health Department on Tuesday said that it has tested a total of 1107 samples on Monday and found these five new cases. All the new five cases from the district are said to be relatives of the earlier COVID 19 case.

With the reporting of five more cases, Balasore district which had merely a single case two days ago has now become the second district after Khurda to report maximum cases. It has now eight cases in total.

The district has now come under radar of the government for the sudden hike in COVID 19 cases. Besides Balasore, Bhadrak and Jajpur has also come under the attention of the government.

While Bhadrak has a total of eight cases, seven cases are reported from Jajpur too. The State Health Department has now said that most of the cases from Bhadrak and Jajpur are linked to recent travels to West Bengal. It has also asked people who had travelled to the state in the last 28 days to go for home quarantine.

We are a bunch of like-minded people from the media who came forward to build a niche where important news affecting the people at large could be covered independently. This website has been envisioned to be a one stop centre for stories on different facets of the society which should ideally get space in the media but due to several reasons the mainstream media do not give them ample space. This website is trying to build that void. We are trying to report from the important developments from the eastern India with special focus on Odisha, West Bengal and the North East. This website was founded by some senior, mid and new budding journalists to cater to the needs of consumers of digital media which is unbiased, non dependent on government ads for survival and dare to report on the issues which should get ample space in the media and spark debate and discussions in the society. We have our representatives in New Delhi, Odisha, West Bengal, Chattisgarh and North East to cater to the needs of people from their region which are otherwise shunned by the national media. We have our head office at Bhubaneswar in Odisha
