Imphal, July 10 2020:
After a lady doctor of JNIMS, who was involved in sample collection, tested positive for COVID-19, the district administration Imphal West is likely to declare her house at Patsoi and areas around as containment zones.
Even though her mother and driver have tested negative after RAT (Rapid Antigen Test), sources in the district administration office said that the areas surrounding her house may be declared a containment zone following COVID-19 protocol.
Three helpers of the family have also been brought at the quarantine centre opened at IIIT Mantripukhri.
They will be tested for COVID-19, added the source.
Meanwhile, swab samples of those who are under quarantine after one 8-year-old girl at Thangmeiband Polem Leikai tested positive have been collected.
The girl had tested positive when she was under home quarantine and subsequently four close contacts from Lalambungmakhong were put under quarantine.
On the other hand, the Government and authorities concerned have not yet released specific instructions whether to test her pet dog for the virus.
The dog is being kept at an Animal Shelter at Porompat, said the source.
