Gandhinagar : Gujarat crossed the hundred figure mark with 105 positive cases of Coronavirus on Saturday and also reached double digits as far as total deaths is concerned.
At least 10 new positive cases were found on Saturday and one more death in Ahmedabad took the total death toll in the state to 10.
"A 67-year-old female having comorbid conditions like Asthma and lung disease succumbed to the dreaded virus. She was admitted at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (SVP) hospital in Ahmedabad on March 28.
She had contracted the virus from her husband who had a travel history to Indore," said Jayanti Ravi, Gujarat health secretary, on Saturday.
"A total of 10 new positive cases, aged between 10 and 69, of Coronavirus were found on Saturday. This includes five male and five female new coronavirus patients. One had a travel history to Mumbai," said Ravi.
"Since yesterday evening, 5 patients have been discharged. A female (27) from SSG hospital Vadodara and a female (80), a male (50) and a female (23) have been discharged from the Gujarat Medical Education and Research Society (GMERS) hospital Gandhinagar.

According to sources, a positive patient was discharged from Gandhinagar, late Friday evening.
