Berhampur: An elderly woman and an engineering student, are the two latest coronavirus suspects in Odisha. Both were admitted to the isolation ward of the MKCG Medical College and Hospital here on Monday

According to officials, the 70-year old woman had gone to Mount Abu in February and returned to her village five days back. She was admitted to the hospital as she developed a severe cough. She was then transferred to the isolation ward, said hospital Superintendent Santosh Kumar Mishra. He also said that the woman’s swab and blood samples have been sent to Regional Medical Research Center (RMRC) for tests.

The youth had gone to visit a relative in Kazakhstan. He too was coughing and sneezing upon return. His swab and blood samples have been sent for tests to RMRC.

Earlier, a couple from Chikiti village was admitted to the isolation ward of the MKCG after they returned from Abu Dhabi. Even though their test reports turned out to be negative, they have been asked to stay in isolation.
