Monday Coronavirus Count: 45, J&K Reports First Case

India has a total of 45 coronavirus cases. Six fresh cases were reported from Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Karnataka, New Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Kerala. The Health Ministry has yet to confirm the case from Karnataka.

Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan Monday said the government is prepared to deal with novel coronavirus and his ministry is sending directives, including guidelines, to states in all the languages on ways to contain it. Earlier today, the health minister chaired a review and coordination meeting with Delhi L-G Anil Baijal, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, mayors of the Municipal Corporations of Delhi and senior officials of various departments.

Earlier in the day, a three-year-child, who had recently returned from Italy via Dubai, tested positive in Kerala. Officials in Kochi said the child was admitted to Kalamassery Medical College and her parents were also moved to isolation wards. Jammu and Kashmir reported its first case after a man, who had recently travelled to Iran and South Korea, tested positive for the virus.
