Coimbatore: Another Podanur resident tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday, taking the district’s count to 59.
The patient, a railway engineer in his 50s, had no travel history except a train ride to Salem and back two weeks ago. The baffled public health department officials, who traced his travel history, later learned that his daughter had recently returned from Georgia.
Now that he has tested positive, the officials plan to bring his daughter, his wife and two other family members for tests to the ESI Hospital. The engineer is undergoing treatment at the PSG Hospitals.
So far, 56 out of the 87 people from the district who attended the Tablighi Jamaat conference in New Delhi have tested positive. Thirty-one of them tested negative.TNN
