Amid the coronavirus scare across the world, a couple who returned from Canada to Titilagarh on March 11 was admitted to the Bhim Bhoi Medical College Hospital in Balangir on Friday.
As per reports, the couple works in Canada. After receiving information that their uncle passed away, the husband and wife reached Titlagarh to participate in death rituals.
When the husband and wife suffered from fever, they visited Titlagarh Sub-Divisional Hospital for medical examination.
The couple’s medical examinations were conducted in presence of Sub -Collector Sudhakar Nayak. Later, the administration not wanting to take any chances shifted the couple to the Bhim Bhoi Medical College Hospital.
The move was taken suspecting the couple might be infected with coronavirus, an official said on condition of anonymity.
