Coronavirus on Wednesday, the number of positive cases in Ernakulam

has touched four. The North Paravoor resident who arrived on Monday in
the Abu Dhabi - Kochi flight tested positive on Wednesday.

“During the screening of the North Paravoor resident at the airport, we had
found symptoms of Covid-19. We shifted him to the Ernakulam Medical
College,” said a health official. Meanwhile, the Thrissur native who tested
positive for the virus also travelled on the same flight. As per the district
health office, 10 patients are under treatment for Covid-19 in the district.

“He was also symptomatic and based on that we put him under observation
at the medical college itself. Since two of the passengers tested positive for
the virus, we are closely monitoring the co-passengers and have put them
under high-risk category,” said the official.

As per the report from the district health office, 10 patients are under
treatment for Covid-19 in the district. “Of these, only four are from
Ernakulam district. The remaining persons are from Thrissur (1),
