Union Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla, in a letter written to all the states/UTs, said that there will be penal action against management if an employee is found to be coronavirus positive. Bhalla said that there are apprehensions raised in the media that legal action such as the imprisonment of CEO and sealing of facility for 3 months if any employee is found COVID-positive or sealing of factory for 2 days if precautionary measures not taken. “I would like to clarify that there is no such clause in the consolidated revised guidelines and therefore there is no basis for such misplaced apprehensions,” said the Home Secretary.
