(PTI) New delhi date. 13

The Delhi High Court today said in a judgment that the duration of home quarantine could not be limited to 15 days as there was no specific information on the coronavirus's ability to infect another person.

The Delhi High Court has directed the authorities in the country's capital to fix a quarantine period. The High Court further said that a quarantined person should be released from quarantine if he does not show any symptoms for 15 days.

The Delhi government's guideline on Corona was challenged in the Delhi High Court. When the pizza delivery boy in Corona came positive in Delhi, all the houses where he delivered pizza were home quarantined. One of the home quarantined persons had applied to the High Court.

According to the petitioner, he came in contact with the pizza delivery boy on March 9. And Corona's report on this delivery boy came on April 14. However, the petitioner was ordered to stay homework for 15 days. They were home quarantined even though 30 days had passed since they came in contact. After completing 15 days, he was again given Home Quarantine notice on April 4.
