The government in New Delhi said that a 68-year-old woman, who suffered from diabetes and hypertension, had tested positive for COVID-19, adding that her son also has tested positive for coronavirus disease.
In a statement, the government in New Delhi said that the deceased woman’s son, who was tested positive, had traveled to Switzerland and Italy in February, and went to the hospital in New Delhi on March 7, with a fever and cough.
