All the 10 initial patients of Covid-19 in the state, including a minor from Katghora who had attended a religious congregation at Delhi’s Nizamuddin, have recovered and discharged from hospitals, officials and doctors here said on Saturday.
The 16-year-old boy from Katghora was discharged from a hospital, they said.
Now all the initial 10 Covid-19 patients being discharged from hospitals and only eight people infected with the infectious disease, who are linked to Tablighi Jamaat Marzak congregation in Delhi’s Nizamuddin and tested positive together in a bunch, a couple of days back, are undergoing treatment in All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Raipur, the officials said.
No new cases of Covid-19 have reported in the state in the last couple of days, doctors and officials said.
All eyes are now on the new hotspot in the state—in Katghora town in Korba district—where test reports of the other quarantined suspects are awaited.
The state government and district administration have sealed off the entire town and have decided to test each and every resident of the town for Covid-19.
Meanwhile, sources in the state health department said that the test reports of all the 47 suspects, sent in the first lot, have tested negative.
The government is now waiting for the reports of the remaining 85 swab samples of the quarantined people linked to Tablighi Jamaat which were taken a couple of days back after eight new cases were detected simultaneously on a single day.
