The coronavirus outbreak, which has triggered a global health scare, has alarmed health officials in India too, following a spike in new cases being reported from various states over the past two weeks. As on March 10, a total of 50 confirmed COVID-19 cases were reported in India, with the latest patients including four people from Bengaluru with a travel history to the US and two people in Pune with a travel history to Dubai. A day earlier, a three-year-old girl in Kerala's Ernakulam district and a 63-year-old woman in Jammu and Kashmir, were among the five people tested positive for COVID-19 (the disease caused by novel coronavirus).
Kerala was the first Indian state to report a positive coronavirus case on January 30. The patient was a student studying in China and had returned home on account of the Lunar New Year festivities.
In a span of four days, two other positive coronavirus cases were reported in Kerala, prompting the local government to declare a state emergency on February 3. These three patients were immediately put in isolation at state medical facilities and over 3,400 people who were suspected to have come in contact with them were put in quarantines and observed for coronavirus-related symptoms. Days later, the three positive cases were discharged following treatment.
Between February 3 and March 1, India saw a calm phase in regards to the global coronavirus outbreak as no new case was reported. But things have changed rapidly since then as between March 2 and March 10, 47 people have tested positive for COVID-19. These cases have been reported from Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Rajasthan, Haryana, J&K, Punjab and Ladakh.
According to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), 5,066 samples have been tested for COVID-19 in India as on March 9. (More on this below.)
Globally, more than 1.06 lakh people in over 100 countries/territories have been infected with COVID-19 and the disease has so far claimed close to 3,600 lives. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared the coronavirus outbreak to be a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC).
