Eenadu paper reported about new case in GOA...

IT is weird..  He is from Norway and in India since Feb 6th... Visited north and north east states in India since then... came to goa on feb 20...

had fever on march10 and tested positive for COVID...

now my doubts are as follows...

Did the virus have longer incubation period in his case... from feb 6th to mar 10th -->

--> or did he contract it from someone in India which means.. the actual situation is lot worse and numbers arent showing 

--> or was it an airport somewhere where domestic international passengers pass through same place --> which again brings me to the question how many more like him would have passed through such places and infected??????????
