The BMC on Sunday sealed all four bungalows belonging to the Bachchans in Juhu after it was confirmed that four members of the family—Amitabh, son Abhishek, daughter-inlaw Aishwarya and granddaughter Aaradhya—have tested positive for Covid-19. While Amitabh and Abhishek, who have mild symptoms, are undergoing treatment at an isolation ward in Nanavati hospital, Aishwarya and Aaradhya tested positive on Sunday, but are asymptomatic.

According to BMC officials, the civic body has sought a written declaration from the actress, if she and her daughter want to quarantine at home or else, they too would be shifted to the hospital. Jaya Bachchan’s results, meanwhile, have come back negative but she will be tested again. Samples of 16 staffers have also been taken for Covid-19 testing, including the family’s security guards and house help. The results are expected today.

“There is enough space in Jalsa (the bungalow where the Bachchans reside) for the staff to be put in isolation. We are providing them with all the help,” a senior civic official told Mirror, adding that all four bungalows have been sealed and marked as containment zones. “Four sanitisation and health teams were formed to inspect and sanitise the bungalows and screen their staff. In all, 30 people, who came in contact with the Bachchans, have been identified as high-risk. Those with symptoms will be tested,” the official added.

Confirming the news, Vishwas Mote, Assistant Municipal Commissioner, K-West Ward, said, “All four bungalows of the Bachchan family — Jalsa, Janak, Prateeksha and Vatsa — have been sealed and declared as containment zone as per protocol. We are conducting contact tracing among all staff members, and till now, 30 have been identified as high-risk.”
