Government Medical College and Hospital, Nagpur
A 28-year-old Nagpur resident from Nandanvan in south Nagpur tested positive for COVID-19 on the 17th day of his return from the United Kingdom.
Suspecting possibility of a new mutated variant of the COVID-19 virus, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) sent samples of the infected youth to National Institute of Virology (NIV), Pune, on Wednesday, to check whether the viral genome sequencing resembles the mutated strain B.1.1.7 lineage reported in the UK.
Meanwhile, the youngster has been admitted to a special ward at the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) in the city. Officials from the hospital informed that he had returned from UK on November 29, after which he developed fewer and other mild symptoms of COVID-19 in early December and tested positive on December 14.
Alongside him, four other family members tested positive, from which two tested positive the same day as him and other two tested positive the following day. Reportedly, before getting tested, he had also visited his relatives in Gondia who also tested positive later.
GMCH collected two swab samples, out of which, one was sent to NIV and other was handed to NMC.
As per directives issued by the state government, NMC commissioner Radhakrishnan B on Tuesday appealed to passengers returning from Europe, Middle East and South Africa to get in touch with NMC for further procedure. The youth voluntarily got in touch with NMC control room and informed them about his travel history for the past month.
As a precautionary measure, India suspended all flights from UK till December 31 and airport authorities have also started screening all UK return passengers at airports for the last two days.
Until now, the city recorded 3302 active cases with a recovery rate of 93.1%. Cases in Vidarbha are recorded up to 2.5 lakh while the recoveries touched 2.28 lakh on Sunday.
