Bihar reports 163 new COVID-19 positive cases; tally climbs to 2,737

With 163 fresh cases on Monday, the COVID-19 tally stood at 2,737 in Bihar, where the number of infections has seen a rapid rise in the recent past mainly on account of the influx of migrant workers, the health department said. The department put the number of migrants testing positive since May 3 at 1,754, which is close to 80 per cent of the total number of cases reported during the period. Special trains carrying them from far and wide began reaching the state on May 2.
