Seven Indian nationals, who were quarantined as primary contacts of a coronavirus case in Bhutan, have been tested negative, an Indian embassy official said on Wednesday.

"Pleased to share that the 7 Indian nationals who were quarantined as primary contacts of the lone COVID-19 case at this end finally tested negative, and have since left Bhutan in good health and cheerful spirit," Indian Ambassador to Bhutan Ruchira Kamboj tweeted.

The land-locked Himalayan country reported its first case of the coronavirus after a US tourist tested positive early this month.

The government immediately closed borders to foreigners for two weeks and quarantined his primary contacts, seven including Indians.
