Birgunj, April 12

Twenty-six persons who were reportedly in contact with three Indians who have been confirmed infected with the novel coronavirus have been quarantined in Birgunj.

They were taken under control on Saturday evening and quarantined at local Siddhartha Secondary School.

Earlier, health officials had collected 24 swab samples, of which three had tested positive. The remaining 21 persons and five others have been quarantined.

DSP Birendra Shahi, the spokesperson of the District Police Office, says, “We will also collect swab samples of five other persons and send them to test.”

Meanwhile, those quarantined have complained of the lack of basic facilities in the quarantine site. “They neither game us tea nor water in the morning. There is not any toothbrush and paste,” one Ismail Ansari says, “When you cannot do these basics properly, it’s sure that you get sick.”
