The Raigad district collector will be sending 5,000 antigen test kits to Mahad to screen frontline workers including NDRF, police and the survivors of the Tarique Garden building collapse.

The step has been taken as during the rescue and relief operation, it won't be possible to strictly follow social distancing or safety precautions. It has also come to light that some of the Tarique Garden might have been asymptomatic COVID-19 patients in home quarantine.
