The sources said one of the nurses developed fever since Sunday evening, so the entire team has been asked to go quarantine themselves at their homes.
"This team of six doctors and nurses and other staff from RML were exposed to COVID-19 patients and as one of the nurses developed fever since evening today the entire team has been sent for home quarantine. Their samples have been taken (for testing)," one of the sources said.
