Name of MP’s husband put in Covid patients’ list by error

Prayagraj: The officials of the health department faced a piquant situation after the name of husband of Prayagraj MP Rita Bahuguna Joshi, PC Joshi was wrongly figured in the list of Covid-19 positive patient uploaded on the portal of the health department on Saturday night.
However, when the health officials came to know about the mistake, they immediately rectified it. The officials admitted it as clerical mistake.
The case came to fore when the name of the husband of the Allahabad MP figured in the list of Covid positive patient despite the fact that he tested negative for the infection through Rapid antigen test kit on Saturday night. Nodal officer and Additional chief medical officer, Dr. Rishi Sahai told TOI that a team of health department had tested the sample of the husband of the Allahabad MP at his residence on Saturday and the sample tested negative. Meanwhile, when the health department issued the list of positive patients on Saturday night it wrongly included the name of PC Joshi. When the family members and others came to know about the development, they too verified the facts with the officials of the health department who later corrected it.
