Thoubal, August 05 2020:
The locals of Tentha are extremely unhappy over the Government's failure to take up timely measures after three people from the area who visited a COVID positive doctor also tested positive for the virus, reports our correspondent.
During a sanitization drive conducted at Tentha areas today by the Tentha Youth Committee (TYC), the secretary of the committee, Naorem Manichou said that three people who visited the doctor who later tested positive for the virus were not subsequently allowed to undergo tests at Thoubal District Hospital despite their attempts to get tested at the said hospital.
As feared, the three tested positive for the contagion and were admitted to COVID Care Centre being set up at the Thoubal District Hospital, he said.
Moreover, even four days since the admission of the trio to the COVID Care Centre, the authorities concerned are yet to take up necessary measures and conduct tests for the other family members and neighbours, the secretary lamented while urging all concerned to do the needful and ensure that Tentha does not become a COVID-19 hotspot in coming days.
