As per experts, J&K seems to be fighting a losing battle against Corona as the number of positive cases is surging every passing day. On the 14th day straight, J&K recorded over 1K positive cases, indicating some serious lapses in the fight against the infection. Jammu and Kashmir reported 1590 cases of novel coronavirus including 91 travelers in the last 24 hours, taking the overall tally to 58244. While, with 18 more deaths reported during the last 24 hours, the death toll is inching towards the thousand mark and stood at 932. According to the officials, 832 cases reported from the Jammu region and 758 from Kashmir Valley, this is for the fortnight now that Jammu and Kashmir recorded fresh infections in excess of one thousand daily.
