After a health inspector of the Municipal Corporation of Dehradun (MCD) was found positive for Covid-19, the entry for the general public in the corporation was barred by the municipal commissioner Vinay Shankar Pandey on Thursday.
The officials said that after the report of a health inspector was found positive on Wednesday, the offices of the corporation were senitised and thereafter, no entry was allowed to any outsider to keep the risk of contagion at minimum.
While talking to The Pioneer, Pandey said that the suspected officials and employees of the corporation who probably came into direct contact with the Covid affected health inspector will be tested for Covid-19. He also informed that the corporation will resume all its work from Friday and the public will be allowed to enter too. According to the officials, 10 employees who had come in direct contact with the officials were sent to home quarantine after having their samples taken and other suspected contacts will be tested for virus soon too.
