Recently it was reported that Rekha’s security guard was diagnosed with the coronavirus. Her bungalow was sealed by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and termed as a Containment Zone. As per procedure, the bungalow had to be sanitized and the residents had to get tested for COVID-19. However, as per media a report, the actor has refused to get the test done or let the BMC sanitize her house Sea Springs.  

According to the portal, when the officials reached the veteran actress’ bungalow, Rekha’s manager Farzana gave them her number and asked them to call her before coming, which surprised them as the officials were supposed to start the sanitising procedure as soon as possible. However, respecting the actor’s request, the Chief Medical Officer of BMC H Westward, Sanjay Phude called Rekha but was informed that she doesn’t need to get tested for Coronavirus since she hasn’t come in contact with anyone diagnosed with the virus. She also claimed that she does not have any symptoms whatsoever of the virus.
