Posters Outside Covid Patients Homes

No state should paste posters outside homes of COVID-19 patients unless specifically ordered under the Disaster Management Act, the Supreme Court said on Wednesday ruling in favour of a petition seeking to end the practice which caused "stigma".

The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the central government to respond on a public interest litigation (PIL) against the decision of States and Union Territories (UTs) to affix posters outside the homes of COVID-19 patients, divulging their identities.

The AAP government today told the Delhi High Court that it has instructed all its officials not to paste posters outside homes of COVID-19 positive persons or those in home isolation and those pasted have been ordered to be removed.

There will be no poster outside the houses of COVID-19 patients under home isolation in the national capital, official sources said on Thursday.
