She added that the new case was that of a 30-year-old woman linked to the third case of the disease in the state.
According to the commissioner, the state government has identified 122 contacts with the new case.
She disclosed that 40 of the contacts had been confirmed negative while 72 others were being monitored.

She, however, cautioned the people against the use of chloroquine without a doctor’s prescription.
