China’s CDC Weekly has reported that recently three Chinese nationals tested positive after they returned to the southwest city of Chongqing after returning from India via Kathmandu.
China has confirmed at least 18 cases of the “ double mutant ” coronavirus variant circulating in India, including in three Chinese nationals who worked near New Delhi and returned home last month.
The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told state media that more Covid-19 cases imported from India were feared to be found in China, but they were unlikely to trigger cluster infections because of the country’s strict entry and screening rules.
A publication from the organisation , CDC Weekly , reported that recently three Chinese nationals tested positive after they returned to the southwest Chinese city of Chongqing after returning from India via Kathmandu.
An epidemiological investigation revealed that the three patients, working at a mobile phone company based in Noida, travelled to New Delhi in a chartered car on April 19 before flying to Kathmandu with protective clothes , N95 respirators , goggles and gloves later that day.
“ They stayed in a hotel in Nepal for two days and then flew to southwest China’s Chongqing on April 21 and immediately tested positive for Covid-19 after landing in Chongqing " the CDC Weekly report said !
