INDORE: Two passengers from Mumbai tested positive for
Covid-19
after they arrived at
Indore
airport.
A flight carrying 107 passengers from Mumbai arrived at the city airport on Tuesday morning.
The district administration initiated contract tracking of passengers who sat in close proximity to the duo in the flight.
The duo hail from Dhar and Ratlam, respectively.
They were placed under home isolation in Indore by district health authorities.
"Both the passengers will continue to remain in home isolation for the next 14 days," district nodal officer for Covid-19, Dr Amit Malakar said.
"We have launched tracing of other passengers. After identification, each one of them will also be put under home isolation,” Malakar added.
He said the health department will also keep a close watch on both the passengers and provide medical assistance accordingly.
This comes a day after the Indore district administration made a negative report of Covid-19 compulsory for people coming to Indore on flights from
Maharashtra.
The health department had collected samples of as many as 57 of the passengers who came in the flight while others had submitted a negative
RT-PCR
report upon their arrival.
