At least 11 first-year students of MBBS at a private medical college here in Maharashtra have tested positive for Covid-19, the college dean said. These students were found infected during tests in the last two days, he said.

"We have dengue patients getting treatment at a hospital attached to the medical college. When two of our students suffered from fever, we suspected it could be dengue. However, before admitting them to the hospital, we carried out rapid antigen tests which confirmed on September 5 that they were coronavirus positive," Datta Meghe Medical College dean Dr Dilip Gode told PTI.
