Bihar began reporting Covid-19 cases in the last week of March. Its tally has grown by more than 6,000 since the beginning of May, largely due to the return of the state’s migrant workers who were stranded away from their homes during the lockdown.
Since May 3, 5,010 people have tested positive upon returning to Bihar from other parts of the country, according to state Health Secretary Lokesh Kumar Singh.
