A private hospital has been shut down for decontamination after a patient discharged from the hospital later tested positive to coronavirus. Two staffers of the hospital also tested positive to coronavirus, thereafter. They are all at the isolation centres where they are being attended to by the National Centre for Disease (NCDC).

The management of the hospital, Vedic Lifecare Hospital, in a statement on Monday noted that both the patient and two staffers of the hospital are yet to show symptoms of coronavirus even after testing positive.
