On the other hand, 101 new cases were detected after testing 209 samples on Thursday, raising the district's positivity rate to 48.32%, according to the district's health division.

Of them, 57 people are fom Sadar upazila, 11 from RaniShankail, 12 from Baliadangi, 14 from Pirganj and seven are from Haripur, said Civil Surgeon Dr Mahfuzar Rahman Sarkar.
