The Medical officer ABC Hospital Aligarh Subject:- Symptoms Of Covid-19 Respected sir, I want to draw your attention towards my neighbours who have Covid-19 flu symptoms. Symptoms like persistent high fever along with cough and cold can be seen for more than a week and are continuously flouting the quarintine rules( like not wearing masks , not doing social distancing and not doing sanitization) and they are not getting themselves Covid-19 tested. It can be very harmful for the whole community . It has led to an increase in Covid-19 cases in the colony. I request you to take strict action against such people. I want you to test them and if necessary put them in quarintine. Hoping for an early response.
Yours truly
Amita
