London-Mumbai-Lucknow: Where All Kanika Kapoor Went And How Many People She Has Put At Risk
Not sympathies or prayers, Kanika Kapoor is facing the ire of trolls on social media currently. "Kanika Kapoor took baby doll mai sone di te duniya pittal di literally," wrote one Twitter user. It is said that she hid her travel history after returning from London on March 10.
Since she is the first Indian celebrity to have been tested positive for COVID-19, everybody is panicking. More so, because from London to Mumbai and then to Lucknow, the?Baby Doll?singer met quite a lot of people and attended a few parties/gatherings.
It is said that she returned from London on March 10. According to her post on Instagram, she "was scanned at the airport as per normal procedure". Apparently, there were no syptoms then.?
For anyone who is aware of the disease, the symptoms take two-14 days to show up. It is advisable to stay in self-quarantine until then. But that's not what Kanika Kapoor did.?
The next very day, on March 11, she travelled to Lucknow. Of course, she took a flight and came in contact with several people. And then, she took a part in three-four social gatherings.
"She was normal when she came to Lucknow and had no signs of any illness. In fact, she attended three-four social gathering while she was here. We also visited Kanpur for a day where her nana-nani live. Then we were busy shifting our home," her father Rajiv Kapoor was quoted as saying by?TOI.?
One of these parties were hosted at a five star hotel in Lucknow, which was attended by bureaucrats, politicians and socialites reportedly had attended the party she threw in Lucknow. The hotel staff and guests are in panic mode reportedly.Medical officials are now unsure how to quarantine the entire building where the singer stayed and also subject the guests at the party to tests.?
"Some people have started approaching us for tests but we still do not know how to make the VIPs undergo tests," said a doctor at the KGMU.?
A couple of days ago, she fell sick. That's when she approached the doctor and was tested positive.?
"It was only two days ago that Kanika had slight fever, a running nose and cough, so we consulted our family doctor who suggested that we send her samples for testing for COVID-19. So we called up the CMO and requested him for the tests which unfortunately came out positive for Kanika. But we have been in isolation since the past three days and have confined ourselves in our home. The health department is sending a team to collect my wife and my samples too. Our whole family will be tested now."
On Friday morning, she was taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
ˇ°This is not the time to feel confident or be daring," said Manmeet of Meet Brothers fame, who has worked with Kanika on Baby Doll. "I spoke to her and she said it is pretty mild. Not just that, her grandmother was also in touch with her. That is the part Harmeet (my brother) and I, are both worried about. I just hope that it does not affect them," he added.?
Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje and her son and Congress leader Jitin Prasada have gone in self-quarantine after attending the party where Kanika Kapoor was present.?
Many other high-profilepoliticians, including Uttar PradeshˇŻs health minister Jai Pratap Singh had attended that party.?
These people who attended the party have been meeting several other people since then. For instance, BJP MP Dushyant Singh attended the Parliament the next day.?
He sat next to TMC Rajya Sabha MP Derek OˇŻBrien and had a long chat with him.?
