Authorities in Gurugram on Wednesday ordered a ban on public gatherings of more than 50 persons, as the city reported its second coronavirus case earlier in the day. Harayana's first coronavirus case was reported from Gurugram on Monday, after a woman with travel history to Malaysia and Indonesia, tested positive for the new strain of the virus. The second case was reported from the satellite city as well, after a man who had returned from London 11 days ago also tested positive for the virus.
