Authorities have not been able to identify the source the deceased man contracted the virus from. This naturally leads to doubts on presence of an infected  individual in the area, the minister said.

 A few persons are under the cloud of suspicion. Fluid samples from these individuals will be sent for testing, Kadakampally told reporters in response to a question raised on 2nd Covid death confirmed today.
