Helping a COVID-19 positive neighbour get admitted to a hospital did not augur well for Bhayandar resident Vinod Yadav, 50, as the woman was discharged after treatment, but he is stuck in a quarantine centre, allegedly without being tested. He has been there for almost a week.

Yadav, a tile installer, said he had started work after three months and his family is dependent on him. But since June 10 he has been 'locked up' at the quarantine centre in New Golden Nest building at Bhayandar East.
