A total of eight people tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday from Bengaluru , which includes three members of a family from an upscale residential apartment complex in JP Nagar. The three members are the wife and two children of P-1,930 from Chennai. The family lives on the 13th floor of the apartment and authorities have sealed the entire 12th and 13th floor of the building, including the lifts. Five primary contacts of the family and 10 secondary contacts, including their maid, have been subjected to quarantine.
Among others who tested positive for the virus on Monday include a 53-year-old woman who had gone to renew her grandson’s passport in Mumbai. She is asymptomatic as of now, health officials stated. The woman had returned to the city around May 10th and was institutionally quarantined, after which she tested positive. Another 30-year-old woman patient, who was randomly tested from the Padarayanapura containment zone, tested positive on Monday.
The list also includes a 48-year-old patient from Bengaluru Urban (who, in turn, is a contact of P-1,659 from Raichur), a 38-year-old man who was admitted for Severe Acute Respiratory Illness (SARI) and a 25-year-old man, who is a United Kingdom returnee.
Now, ministers and government officials on duty can skip both institutional and home quarantine. The Department of Health and Family welfare set new additions to the quarantine rules on Monday evening, where it said that Union and State ministers need not undergo quarantine.
