Hyderabad mosque sealed after teenager tests positive.

HYDERABAD -- Local authorities on Saturday sealed a mosque in Hyderabad and locked approximately 100 people inside after a 19 year old Chinese Muslim man, who had visited there earlier with his 'Tableeghi Jamaat' was detected positive with coronavirus.

Confirming the aforementioned development, Kohsar government hospital's focal person Dr Suresh said these people will not be allowed to leave until their tests are conducted, adding that eight people who remained in close contact with the Chinese Muslim have been placed in isolation at another mosque. It is pertinent to mention that this man has been attending the Raiwind ijtima since 2016.

'The samples of all these people have been collected for the coronavirus test and they will remain inside until their reports come negative,' he said. 'The 19 year old was later shifted to Liaquat University Hospital (LUH) for further treatment.'
