Officials said on Tuesday that a relative of a scavenger living in the Presidential Estate area was hospitalized for treatment. This step was taken when the mother of the scavenger died in BL Kapoor Hospital a few days ago due to Covid-19 infection.
An official said his mother lived outside the presidential estates. After her positive report came in the investigation, all her relatives were sent to the segregation and investigated. The investigation report of relatives was found negative. He said that after the death of the scavenger's mother, about 25 families first moved to the home quarantine.
