In another such case, a woman, who has recovered from Covid-19 infection, was denied entry to her Cherantapada village under Rajkanika block in Kendrapada district on Thursday.
Sources said that the woman along with her two children was staying in a rented house at Cherantapada as her husband was working outside. In July last week, the woman was detected Covid-positive and shifted to the Chatta Covid Hospital. On Thursday, she returned as she tested negative. But the villagers didn’t allow her to enter the village.
Attempts made by Tehsilda Bikram Parida and local police too proved futile. As a result, the woman went to her father’s house at Kalikapur.
According to locals, about nine persons, including her father and mother, were detected Covid positive after they came in contact with the woman.
On Friday, Covid cases in the district rose 635 with 34 new cases. While 453 hae recovered, 179 are now undergoing treatment.
