Days after veteran actress Rekha's security guard tested Covid-19 positive, four other watchmen in the area have contracted the virus. The four watchmen work in bungalows close to Rekha's Sea Springs bungalow in the Bandstand area of Bandra. They have been been shifted to Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) Covid-19 facility, reportedly. An online report further states that nine others who came in contact with those affected have been tested and their reports are awaited. Last week, a security guard at Rekha's bungalow Sea Springs tested positive for Covid. BMC has since then sealed the actress' bungalow. Sea Springs has been declared a containment zone and BMC has sanitised the locality. However, it is not yet known whether the actress, who has been living in home isolation over the past few weeks, has had a Covid test done. ABP News contacted Chief Medical Officer of BMC H West ward, Sanjay Phunde, to find out why Rekha is reluctant to take a COVID-19 test. Sanjay Phunde, who advised Rekha to undergo a Coronavirus test, told ABP News, “BMC team went to her bugalow for sanitization. As a medical officer, I suggested Rekha to get a COVID-19 test. The actress didn’t allow me to enter her house and her manager Fazana spoke to us from behind the door.” “Rekha has said that she will undergo a COVID-19 test if she finds any symptoms. She has promised to inform BMC via phone about the same,” the BMC official said.
