Asymptomatic people have the coronavirus and they will test positive. People who test negative dont come under the umbrella term of Asymptomatic. Its not mandatory for them to quarantine.
My only takeaway from this is that Parth should have kept it discreet rather than flaunt it on social media.
Exactly my point. There is no way to say that someone who is asymptomatic is not a positive carrier of the disease. A positive symptomatic is as good as a negative one unless they are tested. Are they testing everyone before flying? Don't think so.. can thermal checks alone tell is who is positive or negative.. again I don't think so.
Therefore, quanrantine should be mandatory for all the travellers be it asymptmatic or symptomatic. Waha jake they can be tested if negative they should go home. But no one should be allowed to leave at the face value or trusting some information on Setu App (anyone can declare themselves negative, because it's done by the user)
We can't have broken ruled and policies that allows anyone (be it a celeb or a commoner) to leave airport without a proper quarantine/ testing just because they don't show symptoms. But if govt wants to live under an illusion that just by coming up with some guidelines with loopholes and all will be well, people will follow like thalli and tali drama, then they are highly mistaken.
Parth ka irresponsible act has come into attention but what about so many others who knowingly /unknowingly are going to spread the disease because they did not show any symptom during the journey. What if they were negative but caught it during the journey time.
@bold- in a way it is good that it came out because now PH and other people related can may be make stricter rules. So if lessons are learnt from the incident it will help making things better for everyone's safety and security.
