A woman pilot of a ship, who had
recently travelled to Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, and another person returning home from England have been kept at the isolation ward of a government hospital here with symptoms of coronavirus, a health department official said on Tuesday.
The woman pilot had been hospitalised with fever and cold at a Kolkata Port Trust (KoPT) hospital from where she was brought to the isolation ward of the Beliaghata Infectious Diseases hospital, he said.
Swabs have been collected from the person who has been admitted to the same ward of the hospital though doctors were yet to decide whether or not medical tests will be conducted on the woman, the official said.
Five other persons were under observation at the same isolation ward.
"Their swabs have been collected and sent for medical tests. We are waiting for the report," he said.
