A person who had travelled together from Australia with his friend, who later tested positive in Mumbai for coronavirus, has voluntarily opted for testing at the TB Hospital.
The person, health officials said, has been quarantined at the hospital, pending the arrival of his report from the lab. “It was very nice on the part of the person, who came voluntarily to the hospital and opted for testing since he had travelled with his friend from Australia,” they said
“His friend has tested positive for coronavirus and is being treated in Mumbai. He has not showed any symptoms of infection, but he has been quarantined pending arrival of his reports,” the officials informed.
Around nine persons are presently being quarantined at the TB hospital as a precautionary measure.
In the meantime, the health officials have allowed around 20 passengers, who were housed at the ESI hospital, to leave since they showed no symptoms for coronavirus. The total number of passengers presently housed at the ESI hospital is put at below 10.
