I read the first Covid-19 cases have reached Mount Abu (links will go out of date quickly). Which Hansaben is she referring to? Raval or an Indian one?
News from Jayantiben in Shantivan: 8 June
8 June 2020
Om Shanti. We were planning to go up the mountain for a few days, as many people have been asking us to come up and spend time on the mountain top. We were all packed and ready to go, and then we got the news that they’ve discovered the first positive COVID-19 case (non-BK) of Mount Abu, in one of the little villages, and so we are still in Shantivan as they will be identifying the containment zone over the next day or so. We’ll see when there is the possibility of going up.
A Mount Abu family had gone to Gujarat for a visit, and one of the members caught the virus. The rest of the family are awaiting the results of their tests; the whole family has been brought down to Baba’s Man Sarovar, the new building by the riverside near Shantivan, which the Yagya had been asked to hand over to the Municipal Council to be used as an isolation/quarantine facility for COVID-19 positive and suspected cases.
A medical team is resident there as well as police, and of course people in quarantine as well as COVID-19 patients (a total of around 40-50) from around the Abu Road area. Food for everyone is being provided thrice a day by Baba’s home, Shantivan.
