Four IndiGo crew members, who flew on the Dubai-Bengaluru flight on February 20 along with a coronavirus-infected Hyderabad techie, have been put under observation at home since March 2, the airline said on Tuesday.
On Monday, a 24-year-old software engineer from Hyderabad, who works in Bengaluru, was found to be the first confirmed case of novel coronavirus from Telangana.
The techie worked with people from Hong Kong in Dubai last month and is suspected to have contracted the disease from there.

"We are following all the prescribed Airport Health Organization (APHO) guidelines and are taking preventive measures for our crew operating flights to regions affected by coronavirus," the low-cost carrier added.
