Bhubaneswar: At a time when the COVID-19 cases are on rise, the Odisha Government’s Chief Spokesperson on COVID-19, Subroto Bagchi on Friday appealed all not to become super-spreader and stay at home.
Referring to ‘Patient 31’ of South Korea, Bagchi said, an elderly woman with pneumonia-like symptoms from the city of Daegu tested positive for the killer virus on February 18 and estimated to have come in contact with some 1,160 people, he said.
Speaking about 3rd COVID-19 positive patient in the State, Bagchi said, the 60-year-old man had visited three hospitals in Bhubaneswar and this might have serious implications. The patient had also come in contact with an Odisha Assembly staffer and came to Bhubaneswar from Delhi in an IndiGo flight.
Explaining the current status of COVID-19 in the state, Bagchi said, “During phase-1, the focus was on foreign returnees and later the surveillance shifted to people coming to Odisha from other states. With the third confirmed case, we see a possibility of the outbreak moving into stage 3, which is community transmission.”
