SRINAGAR: On April 20, Turab Shah, 30, received a call from her sister, Ishrat, 37. She informed him about being tested COVID-19 positive. Ishrat along with her husband lives in the Gulab Bagh area of Srinagar. But a day before she was tested positive, she was at her brother’s home in Karan Nagar, where she met her elderly mother too. “Get all family members tested immediately,” Ishrat told Shah over the phone.
Acting quickly, shah got all of his family members tested. Shah’s brother, mother and father turned positive. The health conditions of all of them in a day’s period of time changed. They were now visibly symptomatic: fever, breathlessness and body pain, all symptoms gripped them quickly. The family is clueless about how they actually contracted the virus.
