The BMC will have many answers to give for discharging a 68-year-old Kandivli resident, saying she is healthy after spending 14 days in quarantine and then rushing to get her back to the hospital less than a day later, claiming she is still positive. The blunder has created panic among neighbours who welcomed the woman home on Tuesday. Residents of the housing society in Mahavirnagar, Kandivli West, are naturally taken aback and have slammed the civic body for its carelessness
that has resulted in a second round of sealing.

On April 6, all six wings of the society were sealed after a 72-year-old patient, staying on the 3rd floor of the A wing, tested positive for COVID-19. A couple of days later, the patient's wife and 45-year-old daughter-in-law tested positive and were taken to the Trauma hospital for the treatment.
