NEW DELHI: The Delhi government’s health department has asked over 1,169 people, who had come in contact with a Mohalla Clinic doctor in north-east Delhi, to remain in home quarantine for 14 days. Of these, most were patients who visited the clinic between March 12and 18. Around 30 to 40 patients were those who visited the doctor’s private clinic in Old Seemapuri.
The 49-year-old doctor who worked at a Mohalla Clinic in north-east Delhi’s Maujpur had tested positive for Covid-19 on March 21. On Wednesday, his wife (48) and daughter (17) also tested positive for the infection. The doctor contracted the infection from a 38-year-old woman from Dilshad Garden, who had visited the doctor’s private clinic on March 12, with symptoms such as cough and fever.
The authorities have put out notices asking people to report to them in case they had visited the clinic of the doctor. The woman had also passed on the infection to her 65-year-old mother and 30-year-old brother living in Jahangirpuri. Two of her other relatives-—sisters aged 24 and 26— living in Dilshad Garden also got the infection from her. They tested positive on March 20 and 21.
