While a suspected coronavirus affected person was sent home without test by the security personnel posted at a lab in the Gurugram civil hospital on March 16, a woman fled fled the sector 10 civil hospital as she was not satisfied with facilities there, on March 15.

The person, who is a senior officer at an MNC and had recently returned from Germany, had gone to the hospital to give blood sample. But he was asked to isolate himself at home and was not allowed to the lab.

He had gone to Germany on February 4 and returned on February 7.

In case of woman, the health official later claimed that she was admitted to RMLH isolation ward. She had returned from Malaysia, recently.
