Indore: Coronavirus has reached the Indore collector's office and has spread panic among the staff and officers there. On Saturday, a computer operator posted at the Indore tehsil office tested positive to the virus and the news spread like wildfire in the collectorate on Sunday. The collectorate is functioning all seven days due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
