COVID-19: Pizza delivery boy tests positive, 72 South Delhi families told to quarantine
By MYBRANDBOOK
72 families in South Delhi were asked to self quarantine after the pizza delivery boy was tested positive with pandemic coronavirus, confirmed the District Magistrate of South Delhi.
A delivery boy from a well known pizza outlet in Malviya Nagar was tested COVID-19 positive, following which his 16 colleagues at the outlet were quarantined. A detailed trail was followed to identify each house where the food was delivered at the outlet.
“We have found that 72 houses had taken delivery from that outlet and hence everyone has been told to follow precautionary measures and be under self- quarantine," District Magistrate BM Mishra said.
He added that there was no need to panic, as he had informed all the delivery boys to use masks and follow the safety measures while executing a delivery. But the decision to send all contact persons to quarantine was 'necessary' as a precautionary measure.
The said delivery boy is now undergoing treatment at a hospital, while others who came in his contact are being monitored on a daily basis.
Some of the orders from this outlet were also made, which said that while all colleagues of the delivery boy have tested negative, as a precautionary measure, the restaurant has now suspended operations for the time being.
"All the co-workers of the said rider have tested negative and as a precaution, the restaurant where the rider worked has suspended operations," a statement by the food outlet said.
