Police at Uddhav Thackeray residence to be tested for coronavirus infection

The home minister also asked people living in containment zones not to panic and cooperate with the state government by not stepping out of their homes

Police personnel deployed at Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's private residence "Matoshree" will be tested for coronavirus, said Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said on Tuesday after a tea stall owner near the bungalow was diagnosed with the disease. 

The personnel will be quarantined as a precautionary measure as they may have had tea from the stall, said Dekhmukh, adding other staffers present there will be screened too.

"We will quarantine them to contain the spread, in case they (the security personnel) have been infected," the home minister told a news channel.
