Recurrence of COVID-19 in one of the patients who had recovered from

active cases and two cured.

After the latest development, 11 patients -- three each from Chamba,

The fresh case was identified as a Tablighi Jamaat member who had
recently returned from Nizamuddin in Delhi and is a resident of Amb

village in Rajpur Jaswan panchayat around March 8-9 after attending a
congregation in Nizamuddin last month.

contacts," he added.

two others have died. The two deceased persons include a 70-year-old
