Tripura's first COVID-19 patient, a woman from Udaipur town in Gomati district, who returned from Guwahati right before lockdown, had tested positive for the coronavirus infection on April 6.

Tripura now has 111 coronavirus suspects under surveillance and 227 others have been placed under home quarantine.

Tripura is third state in India to have zero Covid-19 cases. The coastal state of Goa had a total of seven positive cases, of whom six had travel history and one was the brother of a positive patient. Goa is the first green State in the country with no case of coronavirus being reported from April 3.

Manipur had two coronavirus infected patients in the state, who recovered and tested negative on Monday, earlier in the week.
