The health department said continued monitoring would remain in place. Residents have also been asked to arrange testing promptly when symptoms appear and follow medical advice to protect themselves and their families.
Dr Kamlesh Joshi, Almora’s district surveillance officer, appealed to people to seek care without delay if they notice symptoms during the changing weather.
