A TMC official said, “If a resident has any symptoms such as cold, cough, breathing difficulty, fever and weakness, they get a test done for Covid-19. Most residents get the test done from private laboratories without informing us. They also do not self-quarantine till the report is out. They will spread the virus to others if they are Covid positive.”
