THIMPHU: Seven Indian nationals, who were quarantined as primary contacts of a coronavirus case in Bhutan, have been tested negative, an Indian embassy official said on Wednesday.
"Pleased to share that the 7 Indian nationals who were quarantined as primary contacts of the lone COVID-19 case at this end finally tested negative, and have since left Bhutan in good health and cheerful spirit," Indian Ambassador to Bhutan Ruchira Kamboj tweeted.
The land-locked Himalayan country reported its first case of the coronavirus after a US tourist tested positive early this month.
The government immediately closed borders to foreigners for two weeks and quarantined his primary contacts, seven including Indians.
