//Family getting message without sampling\\
A couple, living in MOG Lines, is getting messages for sampling from the health department even when they didn’t give any samples in the last many days.
“My wife and I are getting messages that our samples have been sent to MGM Medical College for testing. We didn’t give any samples and didn't even leave the house last week,” he said.
Meanwhile, CMHO Dr BS Saitya said that someone in the couple’s family must have given the wrong name and number to the sampling team somewhere or it might be a technical error.
“We will look into the matter and will take cognizance over the same,” he added.
