Coronavirus | Most COVID-19 positive Indians abroad are in the Gulf
The HinduThe majority of Indians who tested positive for coronavirus infection abroad are located in the Gulf countries, a source familiar with the figures said on Thursday. The official said that a total of 3,336 Indians spread across 53 countries have tested positive for the novel coronavirus and 25 Indians have died in the consequent COVID-19 infection. Earlier, on April 13, India sent a Rapid Response Team to Kuwait which held interactions with officials there, as the Gulf monarchy emerged as the largest host of Indians affected by the novel coronavirus abroad. To deal with the emerging situation, the Ministry of External Affairs set up a COVID-19 Control Room in March to serve as the nodal body for dealing with the Indians and their families living abroad.
