Patients infected with this new virus are also being found in the district. Three patients from Kasop, Tonde and Rajivwada areas of the taluka were found infected with this infection. But now the condition of these patients is stable and they have been discharged from the hospital. The health of these patients was said to be stable because the virus was diagnosed and treated as soon as symptoms appeared. Also, for the treatment and control of this infection, an isolation room and 23 oxygen cylinders have been arranged in the district hospital.
