A relative of a sanitation worker at the Rashtrapati Bhavan has tested positive for the coronavirus. Although she isn’t an employee at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, she lives in the complex.

The sanitation worker’s daughter-in-law’s mother died of COVID-19 in her village recently and all of the family members had attended her funeral. The family had tested negative for the novel coronavirus.

However, the daughter-in-law has tested positive after her results came in on Monday. The first contacts of the family have all tested negative for the virus.
