A 60-year-old coronavirus positive man died at the state-run MBS Hospital in Kota even as Rajasthan recorded 35 more cases of the virus, an official said on Monday.
The virus has so far claimed six lives in the state and infected 274 people. However, officials maintain that those who died were also suffering from other ailments.
Of the 35 patients, nine are family members of the deceased while five were linked to the Tablighi Jamaat congregation in Delhi's Nizamuddin.
Additional Chief Secretary Rohit Kumar Singh said the 60-year-old man had no travel history but some people in his locality had attended the Jamaat event last month,
