Three people, including a doctor
who had treated the country's first coronavirus victim, have tested positive for the infection in the last 24 hours, taking the total number of COVID-19 cases in Karnataka to ten.
The family doctor of the 76-year-old man from Kalaburagi who died last week was among the infected, the Health and Family Welfare Department said in an update on Tuesday.
The 63-year-old doctor had treated the elderly man who died "due to co-morbidity and also tested positive for COVID-19."
He is under strict home quarantine, the department said.
A 20-year-old woman, a resident of Bengaluru, who returned from the UK, has also tested positive for the virus.
Earlier on Monday, a 32-year-old man, a software engineer who arrived from the US via London earlier this month, tested positive for the virus.
He was on the same flight as another person who was later confirmed to be infected.
He was under home quarantine, and has now been admitted to an isolation facility, the update added.
