India’s first Covid patient tests +ve again
Thrissur:14.07.2021
The Kerala girl who became India’s first Covid patient after contracting the virus while studying medicine in China’s Wuhan has tested positive again, this time at home.
The fourth-year MBBS student from Thrissur district is currently asymptomatic. She came to know about her reinfection only because of a mandatory RTPCR test before proceeding to New Delhi to collect some personal documents that she had earlier submitted to the government.
“My daughter is not under medication now as she has no manifest ailments. She has been quarantined on the first floor of our house,” said the girl’s father, who has tested negative. The medical student, who had first tested positive on returning from Wuhan in the last week of January 2020, hasn’t been vaccinated yet. TNN
‘Nothing unusual about girl testing +ve’
Her father said she chose not to get the jab because she wanted to go back to China and wasn’t sure whether any of the vaccines available in India would be accepted there. Her college mates from India haven’t opted for vaccination either, he said. Health officials said there was nothing unusual about the girl testing positive for the second time, barring her status as the first person from the country to catch the virus.
