"It is still a suspected case and we have already informed the state government about this.
"We have to isolate him in the hospital because he has cough and we are also suspecting he has dry throat.
"There is currently fear among health workers on duty as a result of the deadly nature of Coronavirus," the hospital staff added.
He said, "We are still suspecting the case of the old man since he returned from the US but he has been isolated in the hospital's ward.
"So, we would be sending over his blood sample for further confirmation because the man has cough and I feel this could give us a lead into his case." Saharareporters
