Mumbai: New cases of coronavirus are surging in India and this time a new COVID-19 positive case has been detected in actor Ankita Lokhande's residential complex due to which the entire apartment has been cordoned off.
Several reports claimed that the man who has been diagnosed positive for the deadly virus had just returned from Spain.
A resident of the apartment told a media outlet that the man stayed in the D-way of the complex.
"He had returned from Spain earlier this month. He tested negative at the airport and was advised to complete self-quarantine for the next 15 days. But unfortunately, on the 12th day itself, the man developed symptoms of COVID-19 and was rushed to a hospital along with his wife. Though he has tested positive, his wife's results negative," said the resident.
The resident further added that other residents who may have come in contact with the duo have also gone for testing. "However, with God's grace, all the test results have been negative," he added.

Going by a news report, the incident took place on March 26 and the society has been sealed since then. Police officers have been guarding the premises and are keeping an eye so that no one from the society comes in or goes out.
If a source is to be believed, the housing society in Malad, which Ankita is a resident of, is also the home to many popular faces on television such as Ashita Dhawan, Shailesh Gulabani, Natasha Sharma, Aditya Redij and Mishkat Verma.
According to an entertainment portal, actor Ashita Dhawan, who also stays in the same society along with her family, confirmed the news, saying that a person has been tested positive in her wing and they are in total quarantine now.
Praising the BMC and the Mumbai Police for being extremely helpful, the actress revealed that a BMC official collected her mother-in-law's medicines from the stores after they were exhausted.
