Panaji: Even as opposition parties in Goa claimed the special train service between Delhi and Kerala capital Thiruvananthapuram was bringing in COVID-19 cases due to a scheduled halt in Madgaon, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant claimed "90 per cent Goans" alighted.
He said the state has 35 COVID-19 cases, only four of whom were non-Goans, though some hours earlier state Health minister Vishwajit Rane had put the case count at 37.
Sawant said 33 of 35 patients came from Maharashtra and two from Karnataka. "As of now, Goa has 35 positive cases, all of which are imported.
33 cases are from Maharashtra. Two cases are from Karnataka," Sawant said, adding that in nearly all the cases, the Covid-19 positive people were identified at the state's road
