"10 people, including eight men and two women, were earlier arrested. Their sampling was done as they came from a hotspot area. Out of these, five have tested positive for COVID-19. All those who came in contact with them will be quarantined," Dr Garg said.

"In total, 11 samples were sent from jail and six people have tested positive for COVID-19," he added.

Out of 11, one person was arrested in connection with another case.
