Imphal, July 27 2020:
Young Voluntary Organisation (YVO) has submitted a letter requesting the Health and Family Welfare Minister to arrange COVID-19 test for the family members of a staff nurse of RIMS, from Wangkhei Konsam Leikai who has tested COVID-19 positive.
YVO in the letter said that the organisation, being concerned had requested the Health Department officials to conduct tests for the immediate family members of the nurse but the officials refused and were told to wait for 5 days.
Saying that it is irrational and dangerous to wait for 5 days, YVO has requested the Minister to take the matter as most urgent in the public interest and conduct related tests to the affected family members and those residing in surrounding houses.
