K-Electric staffer tests positive for coronavirus

Karachi (HRNW) A supervisor at the K-Electric has tested positive for the novel coronavirus and has been shifted to the quarantine centre at Karachi’s Expo Centre.

The staffer, who worked for a third-party contractor of the power distributor, was part of a maintenance unit in Karachi’s Defence locality.

He was taken into custody by a team of health and security officials who raided the KE’s IBC in the area.

Three other employees, who were part of the same maintenance unit, were also taken for tests. They were released after having tested negative.

The case has raised concerns regarding the welfare of hundreds of maintenance teams deployed in Karachi without any protective gear, at a time when the number of coronavirus cases is rising in the city.
