Coronavirus outbreak globally has been rising with each passing day with the total number of cases around the world increasing. The government is taking every possible step to fight with the pandemic.
In a recent case, a man who was supposed to be in self-quarantine for two weeks after he returned from France, defied the guidelines and went on hosting his grand wedding that took place in Warangal town of Telangana on Thursday.
According to the reports, despite the growing threat of coronavirus outbreak, the groom went ahead with the marriage ceremony which was attended by over 1000 people. Also, nobody including the groom and bride wore masks at the wedding.
The groom had returned to Hyderabad from France along with a friend on March 12 and both of them were put under house quarantine. They were supposed to be in isolation for at least 14 weeks.
However, they travelled to Warangal where the wedding took place. As the matter came to light, the groom was sent back to quarantine and the reception scheduled for Friday was cancelled.
A guest said to a news portal that the wedding was well-attended and the groom did not follow any precautions recommended for those put under quarantine.
When a reporter tweeted about the wedding, the state administration reacted, saying holding the wedding was a huge public health hazard. Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao has ordered to suspend any more bookings of wedding halls for weddings or other large-scale events.
For the uninitiated, Telangana has reported 19 cases of coronavirus. Of them, 11 are foreign nationals. Large gatherings have been banned across the country in view of the coronavirus outbreak.
