First Covid-19 patient of India tests positive for second time

News Desk: An Indian medical student at Wuhan University, China, who was the first person in the country to taste positive for coronavirus, has tested positive for the virus again.

The student did the screening test for travelling to Delhi for her study purpose. “Her RT-PCR test is positive. As the student is asymptomatic, she is under observation at home,” the DMO said. She has not undergone vaccination yet.

The third year medical student was tested positive on January 30, 2020, becoming the first COVID-19 case in the country, when she came for holidays to her house at Mathilakam. She was discharged from hospital on February 20, 2020, after she tested negative.

The student was continuing her studies online at Wuhan University when she was tested positive again. Nobody else in her family has tested positive so far, according to the Health officials.
