Wedding venue in Nagpur turns Covid detection centre

Wedding venue in Nagpur turns Covid detection centre

Nagpur:  01.03.2021 

A wedding venue at Sawargaon in Maharashtra’s Nagpur district turned into an impromptu ‘Covid detection centre’ when health officials arrived at the spot and subjected all present — bride, groom and guests — to rapid antigen tests. Even the priest, cook and drivers were not spared, reports Soumitra Bose. District collector Ravindra Thakare said this could be replicated elsewhere.

Narkhed health official Dr Vidyanand Gaikwad came up with the idea as wedding venues have emerged as superspreader events. “We conducted 26 antigen tests at the venue and everyone tested negative,” he said.
