A large number of migrant labourers, mostly from Jharkhand and Bihar, had crossed into Chhattisgarh from Maharashtra after the lockdown came into effect. They were initially kept at different quarantined centres in Rajnandgaon on Maharashtra-Chhattisgarh borders.
A group of over 100 persons was sent to quarantine centres in Surajpur on the Jharkhand-Chhattisgarh border. The labourers, natives of Jharkhand, were waiting to return to their state. On Tuesday, one of them tested positive for coronavirus, creating panic in the camp.
