ive new cases came to light Fin Hazaribag on Monday late evening. Health officials said that now only 36 patients are under treatment in Hazaribag Medical College and Hospital and in Arogyam hos- pital. A total of 168 patients have been discharged by both the hospitals, they said. HMCH Superintendent Sanjay Sinha said that all admitted patients are being attended by the expert team of doctors in the hospital. “We have received positive reports of five persons from RIMS, which came from dif- ferent places. We have admitted them immediately to the Covid 19 hospital,” said Sinha. He said the first two per- sons are father and son ( aged 60, 27). They had gone to Medica Hospital for the treat- ment. When Medica sent their samples and found them pos- itive, it sent them to Hazaribag Medical College and Hospital. The HMCH admitted them in the Covid ward. Another 48 years old per- son has tested his blood in a private lab. He has been sent to RIMS for treatment.
