According to reports, several persons of Bhatapada panchayat were quarantined at a school in the locality as they had come in contact with two persons who tested positive for COVID-19 on April 23.

However, flouting social distancing norms, a video was shot inside the quarantine centre and later uploaded on TikTok by a user. At least six persons were seen filming themselves dancing inside the quarantine centre being close to each other.
