NALBARI, May 20 - The Nalbari police arrested two COVID-19 positive patients from Bhangnamari Char area near Mukalmua in Nalbari district in the wee hours on Wednesday. They had reportedly escaped from Sarusajai quarantine centre in Guwahati along with three others.
The two positive persons have been identified as Sahjahan Ali and Hamidul Ahmed. They had come from Kolkata on May 16 and were kept at Sarusajai quarantine centre but somehow they managed to escape from the centre the very next day. However, their swap test reports were found COVID-19 positive on Tuesday night. The Nalbari district administration immediately arrested them from their homes in the wee hours of Wednesday and arranged their treatment at Nalbari Swahid Mukunda Kakati Civil Hospital.
Three other persons � Ejajul Ali, Safiqul Ali and Jamal Ali of Mukalmua � who had returned from Ghaziabad also escaped from the Sarusajai quarantine centre. All the three migrant workers of Mukalmua areas reached their residences but the health workers visited their homes in a routine check-up on May 18 and came to know about their travel history. The health workers immediately picked them up and send them to JNV quarantine centre of Banekuchi village. However, at that point of time the health workers were totally ignorant about their escape story. The swab test reports of the three are yet to be received.
It may be mentioned here that all the five persons who escaped from the Sarusajai quarantine centre on May 17 travelled towards their homes in a tempo. Meanwhile, the Nalbari district administration also quarantined eight family members of Sahjahan and Hamidul at JNV quarantine centre today. At present, four COVID-19 patients have been admitted at Nalbari Swahid Mukunda Kakati Civil Hospital.
Meanwhile, a tense situation prevails in Nalbari district after the COVID-19 patients escaped from the Sarusajai quarantine centre and moved towards the district. Deputy Commissioner Bharat Bhusan Dev Choudhury told this correspondent that 88 people, who had returned from outside the State, have been quarantined at JNV centre while eight others have been quarantined at two hotels in the town.
