In a recent, a 36-year-old food delivery agent has tested positive for COVID-19 in Odisha. It has left the residents of Mancheswar and Surya Nagar area panicked.

The swab test results of the youth were announced yesterday evening who was among the three positive cases from here.

According to sources in a report, the youth was working for a Biryani takeaway joint in Patia area and was mostly delivering food parcels in Surya Nagar area.

Few days ago, he developed COVID-19-like symptoms after which he called up 104 health helpline. The health officials then collected swab samples for confirmatory test and the results were out yesterday evening.

As per reports, youth living in a rented accommodation with his parents in Chakeisiani area under Mancheswar police limits was admitted to one of the designated hospitals here.

As he was a Biryani delivery agent, it will be a cause of concern to track with customers. As his area of operation was mostly in Surya Nagar, it is anticipated that he might have contracted the deadly virus from one of the positive patients detected earlier in the area.

On the other hand, the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) is likely to seal these areas for agressive contact tracing.
