COVID patient with mental illness escapes from Chennai hospital unnoticed

Earlier today, there was a report stating that a Corona infected person who was mentally unstable and had been receiving treatment at the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital in Chennai, had escaped from the hospital and returned to his house in Pulianthope, by walk. Thankfully, the person's neighbours alerted the authorities who immediately rushed to the spot to take him back. However, when he refused to co-operate, they locked his house to restrict his movements and arranged for a vehicle and with the Police's help, got him back to the hospital and are treating him. This created quite a stir in the area but has since been contained. Stay tuned for updates...
