Fear of their families getting quarantined led to many people in the Azad Nagar and Ektanagar slums of Kandivli skipping Coronavirus tests on Tuesday. Residents claimed they were warned of immediate quarantining of the whole family if they chose to take the test. While many got tested, spooked by the immediate quarantine, many left without one.

After six people from the slums contracted Coronavirus a few days ago, civic authorities set up testing camps on Tuesday. However, residents claimed that the doctors initially refused to test many people saying they don't have enough equipment. Later they apparently said everyone who gets tested must get quarantined along with their family. The doctor in charge of the camp refused to talk to mid-day saying she was not authorised to speak to the media.
