A young person who travelled from Dublin Airport to India was immediately rushed to hospital upon landing with suspected coronavirus symptoms, it has been revealed.
The Health Department in India announced that a 21-year-old man had travelled to the state from the capital but was immediately rushed to Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital after showing signs of the deadly COVID-19 bug.
Indian health chiefs were able to confirm on Friday that the young patient had completely recovered from his symptoms and was being released after two subsequent mandatory tests came back as negative, reports The News Minute.
They added that the young man will remain home quarantined for the next 14 days.
Health chiefs at home confirmed more tragic news last night as three more people lost their lives to coronavirus in Ireland.
As well as this, Ireland has another 302 confirmed cases bringing the total number of patients to have contracted the deadly bug to 2,121.
The killer COVID-19 bug has now taken the lives of 22 people in the Republic of Ireland.
Of those who have died, twenty of those victims have been in the east of the country, one in the south and one in the north-west.
It was also revealed that a healthcare worker is among the tragic 22 as Taoiseach Leo Varadkar announced last night that all non-essential travel is off limits until Easter Sunday.
Fourteen of the victims are males and eight females, most with underlying health conditions but some with none.
Earlier today the Public Health Agency in Northern Ireland announced a further three patients had died from COVID-19.
It brings the total number of deaths in the region to 13, with a total of 275 confirmed cases.
