Akashvani Bhavan, the headquarters of the All India Radio here, was sanitized on Thursday as a precautionary measure after an employee who last attended office on April 27 tested positive for COVID-19, sources said.
The employee felt uneasy on May 11, reported to the hospital on May 12 and was confirmed coronavirus positive on May 13, a senior AIR official said on condition of anonymity.
Most likely, the person contracted the infection outside and developed symptoms, the official said.
The entire building has been sanitised as a precaution and a confidence building measure, the official said, adding that work is continuing normally.
