The Indian government is doing everything in its capacity to control the spread of Coronavirus pandemic, even if that includes sealing residential societies after coming across even a single positive case. Something similar happened with actress Ankita Lokhande, whose apartment complex, as per Times Of India, has been sealed after someone from the society was diagnosed with COVID-19. The society is also home to other celebs like Mishkat Verma, Ashita Dhawan-Shailesh Gulabani and Natasha Sharma-Aditya Redij.
A source revealed to the tabloid that it has happened to a man, who recently returned from Spain. He was tested negative at the airport was under quarantine for 15 days; however, he started experiencing symptoms from the 12th day. His wife, on the other hand, has been tested negative. “Every person who could have possibly come in contact with the couple was also tested. Fortunately, all those test results are negative. This happened on March 26 and the society has been sealed off since. Cops have been stationed outside the building to make sure that no one exits or enters the society premises,” added the source.
TV actress Ashita Dhawan, too, confirmed the news with TOI. She said, “Yes, a resident in my wing tested positive and is currently in a quarantine facility. I am all praise for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the Mumbai Police. The BMC officials have been extremely helpful.”
She added, “Earlier today, my mother-in-law exhausted her medicines and the medical stores close by didn’t have the stock. So, one BMC official collected a list of medicines from every flat and bought them for us. They have been keeping a close watch on everyone to ensure that we are safe. Of course, these are tough times for all of us, but we will do whatever it takes to ensure everyone’s safety. We have been asked to maintain no contact with outsiders. We are also following the WHO guidelines to keep the deadly virus at bay.”
