He further said, around 391 people who had attended the prayer meet at Nizamuddeen in Delhi have been identified and are placed under home quarantine. There are chances that the rest have travelled to some other districts and the district administrators have been advised to find them and put them under quarantine.

We have also decided to conduct medical examination of each and every person who participated in the event. In Bidar, 11 out of 91 people have been tested positive for Covid-19. In Bangalore, 30 people were tested, and it was found that none of them are infected, he added
