According to the officials, a sanitation supervisor was found Covid-19 positive on Tuesday after which the municipal commissioner, Vinay Shankar Pandey restricted the entry of public for two days to sanitise the MCD campus. “A supervisor was found Covid-19 positive on Tuesday after which the whole MCD campus was closed to the public on Tuesday and Wednesday but the employees and officials were allowed in the corporation. The entry of the public will be resumed on Thursday,” stated senior municipal health officer Dr RK Singh.
