Up to-date, 3701 personnel after completion of quarantining in tri service-managed Quarantine Centers have left those places for home. At present, 1431 individuals are in quarantine in 12 Army-managed QCs and 4 Navy-managed QCs.”

“We carried out 190 PCR tests on the individuals at Punani QC during the day (15) and 788 similar PCR tests were conducted during 11-14 April at Punani QC. Today, we received results of 378 test reports and the rest would come to us tomorrow.”

“Yesterday alone we found 15 COVID-19 positive cases through PCR tests. What was special in that was all of them were from QCs and not from any outside areas. Those confirmed have not at all shown any symptoms of the viral disease and this was something special. A breakdown of detection of the cases is as follows.”
