In what comes as an alarming report, six members of the same family in Jharkhand's Dhanbad all passed away from the deadly coronavirus disease (COVID-19), raising dread and apprehension in the locality. The Dhanbad district administration has now sealed all border areas and issued alerts asking to avoid unnecessary visits to the city.
On to more details of the case, the novel coronavirus had made inroads into the family when the eldest member, an 88-year-old woman, had died of COVID-19 nearly a fortnight ago. However, the bizarre part came later, when one by one, her five children succumbed to the virus, with the latest victim being the fifth son.
