46 more UK returnees test Covid positive, total now 233

As many as 46 travellers who returned from Britain have tested positive for Covid-19 in the last 24 hours. Most of the samples of the passengers who tested positive were sent to the National Institute of Virology for genome sequencing to determine whether any of the patients are carrying the new strain of Covid-19 found in the UK. The results of genome sequencing are not out yet.
