Assam COVID-19 Dashboard

The first case of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Indian state of Assam was reported on 31 March 2020.[3] As of 30 April 2025, the Government of Assam has confirmed a total of [note 2] positive cases of COVID-19 including recoveries, three migrations and deaths in the state.[citation needed] The state's as well as northeast's largest city, Guwahati, has been worst affected by coronavirus.[10]

The COVID-19 outbreak in Assam has been traced to persons who attended the conference of the Tablighi Jamaat religious organisation at Nizamuddin Markaz (Delhi) and did not report to the authorities after their return to Assam.[11][12] Out of the total patients of COVID-19 in Assam – 37 are either attendees or contacts of Tablighi Jamaat.[13] The COVID-19 tally in Assam also shoots up due to some pilgrims of Ajmer Sharif Dargah (Rajasthan), who arrived in the Silchar city of Cachar district by bus on 6 May. Later on, 10 pilgrims tested positive for coronavirus and the others were sent to quarantine as per guidelines.[14][15] The state witness spike in number of COVID-19 cases as migrant workers and many people of Assam stranded in other parts of the country returned to Assam. Many of them tested positive for coronavirus when they were in quarantine in the respective quarantine centres of the state.[16][17]

In the fight against coronavirus, many frontline warriors of COVID-19 have also tested positive in Assam. Though many of them have later recovered, a very few have died.[18][19] So far, the Assam Police has registered 3,005 COVID-19 cases among its personnel. Of them, 2,274 have recovered, 723 are undergoing treatment, while eight have died to the virus.[20]
