Reportedly two more members of Janhvi Kapoor’s and Boney Kapoor’s house staff have tested positive for the Coronavirus. This is in addition to the one who was found positive for the deadly virus earlier this week. The domestic staffs have been taken to a quarantine facility as confirmed by Oshiwara Police Station PI, Dayanand Bangar.
Boney on Tuesday, had revealed that one of his house helps has tested positive for COVID-19 whereas he and his daughters Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor are fine and asymptomatic. He had shared a written statement on Instagram about it that read, “Message from Boney Kapoor -- I would like to inform you that our house staff...has tested positive for Covid-19. He was unwell on Saturday evening, was sent for tests and kept in isolation. My children, our other staff at home and I, are all fine and none of us are showing any symptoms. In fact we haven’t left our home since the lockdown started.”
He further stated, “All of us will be in self-quarantine for the next 14 days. We shall be diligently following the instructions and advice given to us by the BMC as well as their medical team. We are thankful to the Government of Maharashtra and the BMC for their swift response. I am sharing this information because it is important not to feed rumours and panic. We will take all precautions as required. We are sure that Charan will recover and be back at home with us soon.”
The earlier domestic help Charan Sahu, aged 23, has been living with Boney and his family at their residence in Green Acres, Lokhandwala Complex. He was feeling under the weather since Saturday evening and hence Boney had sent him for a test. Charan tested COVID-19 positive after which he was kept in isolation. Later on, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and government staff arrived at the Kapoor residence and took Charan away for quarantine.
