Thiruvananthapuram: With the Covid 19 test positive for a Kottayam housewife after a month and a half after returning home from UAE, perceptions about coronavirus are changing.

Many of the prevailing notions about coronavirus outbreaks are contradictory to what was reported by the health officials yesterday.

The housewife came from Sharjah a month and a half ago. She has been in the home quarantine  ever since their arrival.

Normally, 14 days is considered the time for the incubation for the coronavirus. The Kerala government has proposed a 28-day quarantine for those coming from abroad.

Now, a month and a half later, her test report shows positive. This means that the Covid19 virus can remain in the human body for a long time.

Scientists have discovered that coronaviruses are mutated. That is why the discovery of the antidote is delayed.

The virus infection to the housewife of Kottayam has provided awareness to the scientific world those studying the coronavirus.
