This paper followed the curious case of a middle-aged woman from the western suburbs who was whisked away to a quarantine centre for Coronavirus by a team of BMC officials and workers. They claimed that they were acting on a complaint received from the Prime Minister's Office, refusing to elaborate about how the complaint came about. They claimed that guidelines barred them from divulging details about the complaint.

Though the accommodation was clean and the woman had no quibble about the arrangements, it is extremely traumatic for anybody to be taken away in an ambulance, especially when they simply cannot fathom why they are considered at risk. The lady in question also claimed she had no travel history and has been home-bound since the lockdown began.
