The 28-year-old sister of a police constable got to know she has COVID-19 11 days after she was tested at a local camp. The civic body refused to give her the test reports saying if she did not get an email or call within two days of the test, she must have tested negative, even after she told of her persistent symptoms.

The woman got to know of having tested positive with the help of a local politician who managed to access the report from the private lab which had tested the woman's swab. The woman lives with her mother and constable brother in Naigaon police quarters and has been admitted to Indira Gandhi Municipal Hospital nearby. The BMC, however, is yet to reach out to her.
