The woman hails from Ranchi's Hindpiri, from where the state's first case was reported on March 31 when a 22-year-old Malaysian woman was found to have contracted the disease.

The quinquagenarian is currently undergoing treatment at the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences here, the official said, adding that six of her family members have been placed under quarantine.
