MUMBAI: An Air India pilot couple that has been in quarantine at the civic-run SevenHills Hospital in Andheri since the past four days, put down their experience, an indictment of BMC’s handling of its coronavirus quarantine facility, in a widelyshared message that has led to concerns among the pilot community.
An AI top official said the pilots’ lab test reports have come negative and they will be released for home quarantine soon.
The wife had operated a flight from New York on March 19, and was under home quarantine when within a week she developed a cough. From March 30, she started taking medicines prescribed by an AI doctor and turned down the April 2 Mumbai-Frankfurt flight she was rostered for. The next day, she felt feverish and decided to get tested. The couple lives with their elderly parents and 11-month-old child.
