The collector said many a times it happens that normal patients under treatment for some other ailments in private hospitals later on test positive for coronavirus. "We are waiting for the hospital's response to find out if these patients tested positive later on, or the hospital is actually guilty of admitting them claiming it is authorised to do the treatment," Arya said.
