According to him, six buses arrived on Monday evening from the IGI Airport. “It includes people of all age groups. Some of the travellers refused to remain housed for a quarantine period of 14 days. It might be a possibility that those who are asymptomatic may be sent home for self-quarantine. Samples have been collected of all those who had signs and symptoms,” said the member.
