A sanitation worker at NDMC's Charak Palika Hospital in south Delhi tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday and another 30 staffers who came in contact with him have been placed under quarantine, officials said.
The sanitation worker is not a full-time employee of the civic body, they said.
He was suffering from fever and was referred to RML hospital, where he tested positive for COVID-19, a senior official said.
His family members have also been tested and their reports are awaited, the official said.
"Thirty staffers of the hospital, including doctors, nurses and paramedical staff, have been asked to remain in home quarantine for 14 days," he added.
