With growing concerns that there could be a possible community infection in Phuentsholing, the Bhutanese government has declared the drungkhag as a red zone.

While the government maintained that technically there was no local transmission of the virus since the enforcement of lockdown on August 11, the decision was taken following the detection of 12 new Covid-19 positive cases yesterday.

The new cases are the primary contacts of the 25-year-old man who tested positive from the RRCO’s mini dry port (MDP) in Phuentsholing on August 11.

Prime Minister Dr Lotay Tshering said that although the individuals were placed in a quarantine-like facility before they tested positive, there was no guarantee that they would not have breached the guidelines.
