(Bloomberg) -- Two people have been diagnosed with the new coronavirus in India -- one in the country's capital New Delhi and another in the southern state of Telangana, the Press Information Bureau of India reported Monday.
The Delhi case has a travel history from Italy, while the person in Telangana has traveled to Dubai.
India has so far only recorded three other cases of coronavirus -- all from Kerala in the country's far south -- who have all since recovered and been discharged from hospital, the Ministry of Health said.
