Two Covid positive patients – of two different places in Tripura – have kept the Police and Health department personnel on toes for last couple of days – and while one of the positive patients was ‘nabbed’, other one is still ‘missing’. As a result, all round concern and panic among the local people are palpable.
On July 1, one person arrived in Agartala in a flight and his samples were collected as usual. Subsequently, his report arrived on July 3 which showed that he was a Covid19.
Even as the person hails from Kailashahar, he stayed with his mother at Agartala and after he came know about his Covid19 report, he fled away from his mother’s residence. Immediately, Police and Health personnel swung into action and put his mobile on track. Also, they kept on calling on his mobile, however, the person was not picking up phone.
Later, concerned persons laid a trap and called in his alternative number. As he picked up the call, he was informed that someone had sent him a gift and he could collect it from the premises of DM office. He went for collecting the gift and he was caught immediately. The patient was sent to Kumarghat Covid19 center.
Even as this person could be traced and successfully picked up – one woman from Gandachhera remains untraceable till now. On Thursday last, two persons from Gandachhera area were found covid19 positive. But, one of them – a woman patient left her home before the health team could take her for treatment, alleged villagers. Concerned authority launched massive search for her.
