Srinagar, May 26: Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in Jammu and Kashmir, over 83 lakh people have been tested across the Union Territory for the virus of which over 80 lakh were detected negative till May 26, 2021 (Wednesday).
Official figures available reveal that 2,78,859 people have been tested positive across Jammu and Kashmir till May 26.
Of 2,78,859 cases, 43,892 are active positive cases in J&K, the figures further revealed, adding that 21,420 out of the total cases are travelers and 2,57,439 are others.

On Tuesday, the Union Home Secretary, Ajay Kumar Bhalla while chairing a high-level meeting to review the management of the COVID-19 pandemic across all Union Territories, was informed that through the Government’s timely response, the daily number of COVID-19 cases in J&K has reduced from an all-time high of 5500 to 2200 in two weeks.
