Residents of a village near Ayyampettai in Thanjavur district have expressed disillusionment over the methodology of determination of COVID-19 infection by mobile testing teams. A middle-aged woman claimed she was asked to remain in home quarantine though her swab sample was not taken for testing. She said a mobile COVID-19 swab sample collection team had indeed intercepted her and her son at Thiruvaiyaru on April 19 while they were on their way back after a medical consultation at Thiruvaiyaru. The mobile team, she said, allowed them to proceed after collecting details such as the name, address and contact number from her. Subsequently, the woman had received a message saying she had tested positive for novel coronavirus. A team of police personnel appeared at her doorsteps to advise her to remain in home quarantine.More Related News
