4 virus-infected, but secondary contacts are 2,678!

Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa may have appealed to people not to panic, but a fact that cannot be wished away is that around 2,678 persons who have come in contact with the four infected cases are under the scanner.

The figure was released by the Health and Family welfare department. However, so far only two of the 2,678 persons are showing any symptoms.

The infected 46-year-old techie who returned from the US via Dubai, his 47-year-old wife, their 13-year-old daughter and another 50-year- old techie who returned from the US via London have been admitted to Rajiv Gandhi Hospital. Around 12 people have come in contact with the London-returned techie.
