Covid-19: 'Many took meds to dodge isolation’

A man who tested positive for the Covid-19 virus on Friday after returning home from UK said that many students had taken paracetamol before landing in Hyderabad, to lower their body temperature and escape checks at the airport, reports Uttara Varma. Akhil Ennamsetty, a 24-year-old Warangal-based lawyer, who was on a flight from London that landed in Mumbai on Wednesday, is currently in the isolation ward of Gandhi hospital.
