District health authorities on Friday collected the re-samples of six family members of Baldev Singh, the state’s first coronavirus victim, of Pathlawa village in the Banga sub-division. The samples were taken as they completed their 14-day isolation that started after they tested positive for the virus on March 21. These family members of the septuagenarian victim are his three sons, a 36-year-old daughter, a 40-year-old daughter-in-law and a granddaughter aged 17.
