As Odisha recorded its highest single-day spike, the state’s total COVID tally surges to 8106. Active cases rise to 2567 while recoveries remain at 5502.While 150-180 cases on an average are being detected every day in the state, the rising number of local cases has led epidemiologists to believe that community transmission may have started.
