Accompanied by another person, the man boarded the Rajdhani Express and reached Badarpur in Karimganj on March 13.

The infected person has been suffering from cancer (Hodgkin lymphoma) and diabetes.

Following complaints of fever on March 17, he reached the Cachar Cancer Hospital on March 18.

After check-up, he also returned home but as irregular fever continued to disturb him, he was admitted to the Silchar Medical College and Hospital (SMCH) on March 29, where he tested positive for COVID19.

Subsequently, the National Institute of Virology in Pune also confirmed the blood sample to be positive on Tuesday evening.

During this period, most of the members of his huge family came into his direct contact which has increased the chances of more people to be tested positive for the virus.
