KALYAN: Around 20 new inmates tested positive for Covid-19 at Adharwadi jail.
The inmates were recently sent after a magistrate’s order in various cases.
They were sent to Thane civil hospital for treatment. A doctor said they have mild symptoms.
The jail authority said they used to keep Covid-19 suspects and patients at a quarantine centre at Don Bosco school, nearby, but after schools reopened in Maharashtra, authorities reserved two barracks in the prison itself.
