Delhi's Ram Manohar Lohia hospital on Monday isolated three patients with Coronavirus-like flu symptoms. These three patients had all recently returned from China. This is the first occasion that anyone has been isolated in the national capital over the mysterious new strain of Coronavirus that has led to 106 deaths in China and thousands infected across the globe.
A confirmed case of Coronavirus is yet to be reported in India despite our neighbours like Sri Lanka and Nepal have reported cases of the virus. There has however been such isolation over suspicion in four other cities -- Kolkata, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Patna.
