Coronavirus updates: 2 dead, 83 test positive; Infosys vacates office building in Bengaluru

Coronavirus outbreak Updates: As many as 21 Indians, who were stranded in Italy, arrived in Kochi on Saturday. India has recorded 83 cases so far.

The total number of coronavirus cases in India rose to 83 after one person at the Manesar camp tested positive late on Friday, according to latest data provided by the Ministry of Health. Meanwhile, 10 people have been discharged from across hospitals so far.

On Friday, the death toll in the country increased to two after a 68-year-old woman from West Delhi died at the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital. On Thursday, a 76-year-old man, who had tested positive, died on his way from Hyderabad to his hometown Kalaburagi (Karnataka).

With the number of coronavirus cases in the country touching 82, several state governments announced measures to enforce social distancing. Several states have announced a lockdown of public places, including educational institutes. The US Embassy and Consulates in India today cancelled the immigrant and non-immigrant visa appointments from March 16 onward.

As the worldwide death toll surged past 5,000, the World Health Organisation on Friday officially declared Europe as the epicentre of the virus pandemic. More than 132,000 cases of the virus have been reported in 123 countries since it emerged in December in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a virtual news conference. US President Donald Trump, meanwhile, officially declared a national emergency, invoking the Stafford Act to open the door to more federal aid for states and municipalities.

The Infosys on Saturday decided to vacate one of its satellite buildings in Bengaluru after one of its employees came in contact with a suspected COVID-19 case. "Infosys has taken a decision to evacuate one of our satellite buildings as a precautionary measure, as one of our employees had been in contact with an individual with suspected COVID-19. Please note that this is to ensure the safety of our employees and undertake a comprehensive disinfection exercise at our facility. Employees have been directed to work from home, and there is no impact on our client deliverables as a result of this temporary evacuation," a statement by the company read.

In time of coronavirus, this Bengaluru startup relocates to a farm in Tamil Nadu


As more coronavirus cases are being confirmed from different parts of India, a Bengaluru-based startup has shifted its office 480 kilometers away to a farm located in the foothills of the Western Ghats in Tamil Nadu in a bid to keep their employees “safe and away from panic-situations”. The 12-member team of Vumonic Data Labs, which is originally based in HSR Layout in the city, has been working on a farm in Thevaram, a town in Theni district since March 2. “Even though we tried work-from-home options for a couple of days, work became strenuous and employees started developing panic primarily after seeing several people around wearing masks. Some of them even started getting calls from their relatives asking them to get back to their respective hometowns,” Andrea Fernandes, HR Manager of the firm told indianexpress.com
