Two COVID-19 patients manage to fly from Chennai to Kolkata

The West Bengal government has criticised the Centre as two corona positive patients managed to fly from Chennai to Kolkata in a private airline.

Kolkata: Two persons, who tested positive for Covid-19 in Chennai two days ago, travelled to Kolkata in a private airline on Monday morning and went straight to a hospital in East Midnapore district which is designated for infected patients.

State transport minister Subhendu Adhikary hit out at the Centre and accused the civil aviation ministry for its gross negligence for allowing the patients to travel with other passengers.
