Bhopal: With five more patients testing positive for coronavirus in Madhya Pradesh, the total number of such cases in the state has risen to 14, a senior officer said on Wednesday.
While four new cases are from Indore, one is from Ujjain.
Indore District Magistrate Lokesh Jatav said these patients have been kept under medical observation and are stable.
