West Bengal on Saturday reported two more coronavirus positive cases -- one of which is not linked to foreign travel -- raising concerns of community-level transmission.
The state's health officials, however, said, they are trying to ascertain if the patient had come in contact with anybody who tested positive or has recently returned from abroad.
As the number of confirmed cases in the state rose to four, the state government ordered a shutdown of a host of public places including restaurants, bars, nightclubs, amusement parks, massage parlours, museums and zoos, till March 31.
A 57-year-old man from Dumdum in North 24 Parganas district became the fourth person in the state to test positive for novel coronavirus on Saturday, a health department official said.
Asked about his travel history, he said that family members have categorically said the man has not made any recent trip abroad. "But they didn't divulge whether he had a history of recent inter-state travel."
