After the surging fears over coronavirus in India, a woman in Andhra Pradesh refused entry to her husband in the house, till he underwent COVID-19 test.
The incident took place in Nellore district when the man stuck there since the lockdown began finally returned to his home town.
The man, working in a gold shop in Nellore, was stranded there since lockdown was enforced last month. He finally succeeded in reaching home but his wife asked him to first undergo the screening for coronavirus before entering the house.
She said this was needed for the safety of the children and society. She suggested he stay in a local healthcare center and requested volunteers to test him for the virus.
The health personnel later took the man to Nellore, where his samples were collected. The test result was negative, much to the relief of the man and his family.
“I would not have risked the lives of children and those living in the neighbourhood. That’s why I insisted that he enter the house after undergoing the test,” the woman said.
