      The Director of Health Service has informed that as soon as the two cases were detected at 13th Mile, the Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP) wing of Ri-Bhoi district contact tracing was carried out and samples were sent to North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences (NEIGRIHMS) where four cases tested positive.
