Most of the patients are asymptomatic and have been shifted to solation centers in Bihta and Phulwarisharif.
In an unfortunate incident, a wedding ceremony in rural Patna which took place two weeks ago set off the biggest infection chain in Bihar, health department officials reported on Tuesday. The groom was running a high fever, and died two days later, with his body cremated without being tested for COVID-19.
As per media reports, more than 100 people tested COVID=19 positive in the last few days, in the Paliganj sub-division of Patna district, located about 55 km from the state capital. Out of the people who tested positive, fifteen were the groom~s relative who spread the deadly virus to others in the area.
The groom was a software engineer based in Gurugram and returned home for his marriage in the last week of May. He started showing symptoms of COVID-19 a few days after the tilak ceremony. On the day of his wedding (June 15), he was running a high fever and wanted the ceremony to be postponed for a later time. But his family members insisted, and made him attend the rituals after making him take paracetamol tablets.
However, on June 17 his condition deteriorated, and he was rushed to AIIMS, Patna. The hospital authorities reported him dead on arrival.
His body was cremated without informing the authorities. All close relatives of the deceased, who attended the ceremony, were tested on June 19, out of which 15 tested COVID-19 positive.
Most of the patients are asymptomatic and have been shifted to solation centers in Bihta and Phulwarisharif.
Patna is the worst affected district in Bihar with 699 confirmed cases to date and five casualties, according to figures provided by the administration.
