What happened
A woman in Odisha has tested positive for Covid-19 and has been admitted to a medical college hospital in Berhampur. Officials said she is being treated in an isolation ward and is reported to be stable.
The patient had fever and cough before testing positive. Authorities have asked contact tracing and monitoring measures to continue so that possible spread can be checked early.
