HYDERABAD/ BENGALURU: At least 36 of the 88 people that the 24-year-old software professional from Hyderabad came in contact with after returning from Dubai are showing “some symptoms” of Covid-19, Telangana government officials said on Tuesday.
While 45 of his contacts were taken to the state-run Gandhi Hospital since Monday night, the remaining, who were not symptomatic, have been kept in isolation at their homes. The results for the 36 symptomatic patients are expected on Wednesday, said health authorities. “The 36 include his co-passengers in the bus that he took from Bengaluru to Hyderabad and family members,” said Vijay Kumar, state nodal officer for Coronavirus detection. Sources, however, said that showing symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean that they have been infected and their samples may still test negative for the virus.
