Himachal Pradesh government said on Saturday that there was no community transmission of coronavirus in Kullu district. In a statement, it said a random survey was conducted to rule out community transmission.

This sero-surveillance survey was based on IgG antibodies to coronavirus.

Blood samples of 405 people were taken around three weeks across 10 locations in Kullu district and tested at NITRD, Chennai.

The results were received and all 405 samples were negative.

"This indicates that there is no evidence of community transmission and containment efforts have been successful by and large," the government added.
