After a 53-year-old cardiac surgeon with the Saifee Hospital tested positive for Coronavirus, the civic body has shut down several sections and has quarantined 14 other employees. The man's 85- year- old father, a doctor and suspected to be infected, died at Hinduja Hospital on Thursday.

Civic officials screened the cardiac surgeon's close contacts at the hospital on Friday. "We have placed 14 employees who were in close contact under quarantine. They will be kept at the hostel in the hospital. They will all be tested. We have shut operation theatres, part of the ICU and the OPD. No new admissions will be allowed. We have asked the hospital to discharge patients who can be allowed to leave," said a senior civic official. Sources said no employees were allowed to leave the hospital premises on Friday.
