New Delhi: The government has reportedly identified 10 coronavirus ‘hotspots’.
They are Dilshad Garden and Nizamuddin in Delhi, Noida and Meerut in Uttar Pradesh, Bhilwara in Rajasthan, Ahmedabad in Gujarat, Kasargod and Pathanamthitta in Kerala, Mumbai and Pune.
Nizamuddin has emerged as a hotspot after seven persons, who had assembled at the Markaz building there for a religious congregation earlier this month, died while 24 others tested positive for COVID-19. More positive cases are also pouring in from Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and other states.
With two deaths and 21 COVID-19 positive cases so far, Rajasthan’s Bhilwara town is also being considered a hotbed of the infection.
As many as 72 new coronavirus positive cases, 59 of them in Mumbai alone, taking the State’s tally to 302.
Two persons have succumbed to the infection in Kerala.
Identification of these places will help ramp up the testing process, the reports said.
