With 23 fresh coronavirus cases, this week was a watershed moment in the increasingly alarming run of the disease in India. All told, the India count of the virus — first reported in Wuhan in China — has now gone up to 29.The latest, a 26-year-old Paytm employee, became Delhi's second confirmed case yesterday. He had recently returned from a trip to Italy, Europe's coronavirus hotspot.This, however, is not the only Italian link to India's coronavirus scare. A majority of the new cases were found among a group of Italian tourists, with 15 people testing positive for the virus. All of them contracted the disease from a 69-year-old man currently being treated in Jaipur, who had possibly carried the infection from Italy.The first confirmed patient from the national capital also had a travel history to Italy. The 45-year-old then spread it to six relatives from Agra.The Italian nationals have been travelling across Rajasthan, Agra and parts of Delhi, before being put under isolation. The Delhi resident, too, came in contact with as many as 66 people, including family members, from the time he returned from Italy — where he is suspected to have caught the infection — to the time he was finally diagnosed with the novel coronavirus infection on March 2. All of those 66 are currently under watch.Of those who tested positive in the tourist group case, all but one are stable. The 69-year-old Italian, who was first in his group to be detected with Covid-19 , is under respiratory support at the Sawai Manshingh (SMS) hospital in Jaipur, TNN has reported.Nearly 100 people who came in contact with the Italian tourist group have been put under watch.Union health minister Harsh Vardhan said while there is no need to panic, government has asked all states, including Delhi-NCR where the maximum positive cases of Covid-19 are being treated at present, to create more isolation facilities.Till date, 94,348 Covid-19 cases and 3,221 deaths have been reported.
