A 40-year-old air passenger, Sundaravel, who returned from Singapore, on June 25, died in institutional quarantine in a luxury hotel here on Monday. The Corporation officials had to break open the door after he failed to respond. He was found dead sitting in a chair.
The passenger chose to stay in the luxury hotel for institutional quarantine after reaching the city in a chartered flight.
He is a resident of Cuddalore. “The passenger tested negative for COVID-19 in the first test,” said an official of the Corporation.
