Coronavirus Outbreak: UP Records Its First Death

A 25-year-old man in Uttar Pradesh who died on Monday became the state’s first death from COVID-19.
His death has sparked concerns about the spread of infection after it was revealed that he reportedly hid his travel history details from authorities.
The man was admitted to a hospital in Basti, about 50 kilometers from Gorakhpur, on March 28 after he complained about breathing problems.
The doctors at the hospital said that the man and his family concealed the fact that he had traveled to Mumbai, after which he was admitted to the general ward.
The authorities now fear that patients and staff members of the hospital may have been exposed to the virus.
