BHUBANESWAR: The father of the four-year-old girl who had tested positive for Covid after her arrival from the UK on December 20 has also tested positive for the virus.
This leaves the city with three UK returnees who have tested positive for Covid.
The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) commissioner, Prem Chandra Chaudhury, said the father’s first test had returned negative. “He later developed symptoms and underwent a second test conducted by the Regional Medical Research Centre.
