Sub-Divisional Magistrate Aditya Prajapati, who is also doubling as the area's "incident commander" under the Epidemic Act, 1897, said the second doctor who was found COVID-19 positive, is a resident of Vaishali, Sector 1 and the area adjoining his residence too has been sealed under the provisions of the Act.
The authorities, however, said "they have no plans, as of now, to seal the hospital" whose two doctors were found corona positive.
Dr. Gupta said all patients who had visited the OPD of the Vaishali Max Hospital and came in the contact of the two corona-positive doctors were traced and tests were conducted for COVID-19.
Referring to the 91 samples for COVID-19 tests collected from a Gyan Khand 1 street where the Max Hospital's doctor, first tested positive, resided, Dr. Gupta said all samples barring one tested negative for the deadly infection.
