Kakinada (AP): A mother and her daughter, who did not step out of their house, except for nature calls in the night, for the past two years, due to fear of Coronavirus and other anxiety disorders in Koyyuru village were on Tuesday shifted to a hospital here forcibly. According to the relatives of the family, the family head used to feed them every day and he was not allowed to go out for the past week forcing him to approach authorities.
Health department officials with the help of police shifted them to the government hospital, the relatives said. "What is your problem when I want to confine to my house?" the daughter is seen asking the officials when they were trying to convince her to come out and cooperate with them.
