Indian singer Kanika Kapoor’s social activities posed dangerous for everyone around her as she was tested positive for novel coronavirus. She was seen partying with several close friends and family members. However, her irresponsible behavior saw a critical reaction from her fans and netizens as well and she was massively trolled for the same. 

The process of tracing her contacts was complete, said the State Health Department on Sunday.

The test results of Kanika’s friends and the attendees of the party are gradually making it to the headlines and eleven of the 35 occupants of Kalpana Tower where she stayed with her uncle on March 13 have been tested negative for COVID-19. However, The reports of 24 persons are still awaited.

Another report in Indian Express quoted a department official stating that she came in contact with at least 266 people and more than 60 samples had been tested and all of them were negative. Apart from that, the report also suggested that more samples would be taken if any of the contacts showed coronavirus symptoms.

Kanika reportedly came in contact with former Rajasthan chief minister Vasundhara Raje, her MP-son Dushyant Singh, Uttar Pradesh Minister of Medical Health & Family Welfare Jai Pratap Singh, former Union minister Jatin Prasad and his wife Neha.

The report also quoted State Surveillance Officer Vikasendu Agarwal as he said, “We have traced and contacted 266 people, including 106 people in the last 24 hours, all over India. These include some prominent politicians, who came in contact with singer Kanika Kapoor. We have tested more than 60 samples and all of them have been confirmed negative. I don’t think we have more people to trace as we have already talked to all the organizers and people present in the four parties attended by her. We have traced the shops and salons she had visited. I don’t think there is anything else remaining now.”

He had earlier said that tracing contacts was a challenge: “The good thing is that all the people present at the parties have been very supportive. They are the cream of Lucknow, people in the highest social strata… They are all following our quarantine instructions.”

Agarwal added several establishments that were visited by Kapoor had been shut and their employees quarantined without pay cuts.

For the uninitiated, Kanika returned from the UK to Mumbai on March 9 and arrived in Lucknow two days later. She tested positive on March 20.

Authorities have also traced those who attended social gatherings along with the singer and the Taj Hotel in Lucknow where Kanika stayed has been shut. 

The news of Kanika coming in contact with Dushyant sent tremors of dread and shock from Lucknow to Parliament to Rashtrapati Bhavan in Delhi as he attended House and a dinner hosted by President Ram Nath Kovind after March 15. 

Several MPs on Friday announced that they were going into self-isolation.

Meanwhile, Kanika’s untraceable friend has been found and he was tested negative for COVID-19.
