A 40-year-old man from Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh, died early Wednesday at the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), Sector 32, in Chandigarh, marking the city’s first reported Covid-19 fatality amid a fresh surge. The patient had been referred to GMCH from Ludhiana after testing positive for Covid-19, The Indian Express reported.

This comes days after a Covid-19 case was reported in neighbouring Mohali, raising concerns over a potential regional uptick.
