As many as 24 persons, who returned to Sagar and had participated in Tablighi Jamaat at Nizamuddin Markaz in Delhi, have been placed under isolation here.
They were admitted to the TB Hospital and their samples have been sent for tests.
Earlier, 110 people in Tamil Nadu and 43 in Andhra Pradesh who had attended the gathering have tested positive for coronavirus. Six attendees from Telangana have also died due to the deadly virus.
Several state governments are tracing and identifying all those who attended the Tablighi Jamaat event in Delhi's Nizamuddin. A large number of people in different states have already been placed under quarantine as a precautionary measure.
