2 positive Coronavirus cases in Hyderabad send IT companies into tizzy

Panic gripped Hyderabad’s IT corridor of Madhapur and Gachibowli on Wednesday after two more persons reportedly tested positive for Covid-19 (coronavirus), of which one is a woman technology worker.

Meanwhile, tension eased in Bengaluru after Karnataka medical education minister K Sudhakar announced that all five persons, who had been hospitalised after showing symptoms, are safe with tests proving negative. They include the roommate of the techie who travelled to Hyderabad by bus and his colleague. “We will keep the suspected cases under four weeks of observation as against two weeks elsewhere,” the minister told ET. An Iranian student will continue under quarantine for the next 10 days.
