A sixty-year-old differently-abled woman was admitted in Bikaner hospital with coronavirus four-days-ago. The woman was put on a ventilator at PBM hospital and died on early Saturday morning.

The coronavirus death toll of this deadly disease touched four.

Two men died in Bhilwara.

One hailed from Alwar, who had succumbed to the illness, in Jaipur last month.

Coronavirus has covered 18 districts with 12 fresh reports of cases coming in from several parts of the state, said the Medical and Health Secretary (ACS) Rohit Kumar Singh.

Including the new cases, Rajasthan has 191 positive cases—41 of Tablighi Jamaat returnees, and 27 Indian evacuees of Iran—that are hospitalised in Jodhpur’s two hospitals.

Jaipur’s walled city, entire Bhilwara district headquarters, and parts of Jodhpur are put under indefinite curfew conditions to check community spread of the dreaded virus, Singh said.

Jaipur has got a maximum of 55 positive cases followed by Bhilwara 27, Tonk 16, Jhunjhunu 15, Jodhpur and Churu 10 each, Ajmer and Alwar 5 each, Udaipur 4, Bikaner and Dungapur have 3 each, Pratapgarh and Banswara 2 each, and Pali, Sikar, Dholpur, Dausa one each.

However, 21 patients have been discharged after they tested negative.

Meanwhile, a Maulvi Mohd Jamuludin hailing from Goda (Jharkhand) was arrested for assembly of devotees at a Masjid, in Guhala of Sikar district, under the lockdown despite the warning issued by Tehsildar on Friday evening, said a cop, Neemkathana Sadar, on Saturday.

He booked him under the section of 151 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for preaching peace and the lockdown conditions.

While devotees who came to Masjid ran away after police the raid.
