A girl child from Italy staying with family in a hotel here and suspected to be a coronavirus-infected patient fled with family members from the District Headquarters Hospital (DHH) here on Saturday after admission.
CDMO Dr Nilakantha Mishra said a medical team is now searching for the patient. “We are now trying to bring her back to the DHH and keep her under observation,” said he.
Sources said the Italian family holidaying in a hotel as tourists had admitted their girl in a private hospital in the city three days ago as she was suffering from severe cough and fever.
