REVEALED: Fugitive coronavirus man is a 24-year-old who got infected locally after coming into contact with case No. 37

The man who’s on the run after being confirmed of having coronavirus is a 24-year-old man who got infected locally after coming into contact with case No. 37 (the Bangladeshi national that died from the disease).

Police have been looking for the man after he allegedly fled as health officials attempted to take him in for treatment.

The ministry of health said on Thursday the man is on the run and ‘not at the treatment centre’.

He sat top of a list of 14 people who contracted the virus in the last seven days in the country.
