The Mumbai civic body on Tuesday prepared a list of guests present at a party attended by actor Kareena Kapoor Khan, who has contracted COVID-19, and their immediate contacts for testing all of them, an official said.
"The personalities have been also asked to remain isolated at home and avoid any exposure to other people until the RT-PCR results are out. We have to seal the building of Kareena Kapoor Khan, which has been a standard practice of the civic body," Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's Additional Commissioner (western suburbs) Suresh Kakani said.
Khan had attended a party at the residence of filmmaker Karan Johar.
As per BMC officials, four persons who attended the dinner party have so far tested positive for coronavirus.
