'Super-spreader' guru puts Indian villages on high alert
NEW DELHI: At least 15,000 people who may have caught the coronavirus from a"super-spreader" guru are under strict quarantine in northern India after the Sikh religious leader died of COVID-19.
"The first of these 15 villages was sealed on Mar 18, and we think there are 15,000 to 20,000 people in the sealed villages," said Gaurav Jain, a senior magistrate for the district of Banga, where Singh lived.Advertisement The case has stunned India and a popular Punjabi singer based in Canada, Sidhu Moose Wala, released a song about Singh that has been viewed on YouTube more than 2.3 million times in less than two days.
