India reports third case of coronavirus

India's Kerala has now reported the third case of coronavirus. Kerala Health Minister KK Shailaja has confirmed the third case of coronavirus in India and said that a patient has tested positive in Kerala's Kasargod. The third case of coronavirus is also a patient who has recently come back from China like the first two cases of coronavirus detected in different parts of Kerala, reports India Today.

Shailaja has said, "The patient is under treatment at the Kanjangad District Hospital in Kasaragod. The patient's condition is stable. The patient had returned from Wuhan, China."

All three cases of coronavirus have been reported from Kerala where the government has kept around 2,000 people under observation at different hospitals, quarantine facilities and also homes.

Over 360 people have already died in China's Wuhan city so far and coronavirus has already infected over 14,000 people in the country. The disease has spread to around 25 countries so far, including India and the US.

India has meanwhile evacuated over 650 people from China's Wuhan city and brought them back as the deadly coronavirus spreads across China and other countries.

India flew two special Air India jets from China to India and brought back Indians residing in Wuhan in two batches. While it has brought back hundreds of Indians, the government has not brought back some of the Indian nationals in China who had high fever and other complaints.

On Sunday, the government announced temporary suspension of e-visa facility for Chinese travellers and foreigners residing in the neighbouring country and issued a fresh advisory saying anyone with travel history to China since January 15 can be quarantined.
