As many as seven people in Goa tested for novel coronavirus infection, state health minister Vishwajit Rane said on Thursday.
Goa was earlier declared a green zone by the Centre as there was no active coronavirus case in the state. The seven patients were undergoing treatment at the dedicated COVID-19 facility in South Goa from Thursday morning.
Out of the seven new patients, five belongs to one family — a husband, wife, their two children and granddaughter. The one-year-old granddaughter was the youngest coronavirus patient in Goa.
They returned to Goa from Maharashtra’s Solapur district after lockdown norms were eased. The other two COVID-19 cases are both truck drivers, returning from Mumbai and Gujarat.
