The number of confirmed cases in India has jumped to 30, Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan said on March 5, 2020. He briefed the Rajya Sabha on the steps taken by India to control the outbreak of the highly contagious Novel Coronavirus or COVID-19. The deadly virus was first detected at a seafood market in Wuhan city of China in December last year. An employee of Paytm tested positive for COVID-19, forcing the e-wallet company to shut its Gurgaon office for two days. The figures rose in India after a group of 15 Italian tourists tested positive for the disease. An Indian driver who was travelling the group also tested positive.
