Imphal, May 20 2021:
There are reports of some people becoming COVID-19 positive a few days after they went to Covid vaccination centres or sample collection centres.
A man who was administered Covid vaccine at a private hospital was tested for COVID-19 10 days later as he did not feel well and the result turned out positive.
Another man was tested COVID-19 negative after he gave a sample at a sample collection centre.
But around 10 days later, he became unwell and was tested again.
This time he was found infected by the contagion.
Speaking to The Sangai Express on the condition of anonymity, the two men, pointing out that they became positive after visiting vaccination centres and sample collection centres, expressed keen desire for officials of Health Department to check every now and then whether the SOP is strictly followed or not.
Claiming that they did not go anywhere since visiting the vaccination centre and the sample collection but stayed at home, they expressed strong suspicion of the virus transmitted at these centres.
Some vaccination and sample collection centres, if not all, are quite crowded and there is no guarantee that Covid would not spread at these crowded centres, they added.
