The Hazaribagh administration has sent 20 persons, who returned from Kuwait on Monday, to 14-day’s quarantine in three hotels of the city.

A team of Hazaribagh officials brought them to the city after they landed at Gaya airport in Bihar.

District transport officer Santosh Kumar Singh said the 20 persons are from Hazaribagh, Jamshedpur and Palamau and will be sent home after the quarantine period over.

The number of those who returned from abroad reached 66.

The district now has 191 Covid-19 positive patients, of whom 135 have been discharged in phases after recovering from the disease.

Two deaths have been reported and 54 patients are undergoing treatment in Hazaribagh Medical College and Hospital (HMCH) and HZB Arogyam hospital.

The 191 patients include two women, 35 and 38 years of age, who tested positive on Sunday, said HMCH superintendent Sanjay Sinha.

They were shifted to HZB Arogyam, the other Covid hospital in town.

The husband of the 38-year-old woman has also tested positive and is admitted in HMCH.

Doctors said they were taking care of the patients at HMCH and Arogyam.

“Other than good food, we are giving them medicines on time,” a doctor added.
