Many Indian citizens have taken to their social media handles to talk about the poor sanitation in quarantine facilities.

To say that 2020 has been a rough year for our planet Earth, in general, would be a huge understatement. With the recent Coronavirus outbreak, which stemmed from Wuhan, China, has spread across the globe like wildfire with 6500 deaths already confirmed. According to News18, as per the Health Ministry officials, the total count of confirmed cases in India has gone up to 114. There have been two confirmed deaths in India so far. Narendra Modi recently tweeted about how Indian doctors, nurses, municipal workers, airport staff and all other remarkable people are currently at the forefront of fighting COVID-19.

However, several Indian citizens took to their Twitter pages to highlight the poor sanitation in the quarantine facilities, across the country. Navya Dua, who landed from Spain to Delhi today, i.e. March 16, 2020, tweets how she is being subjected to a 14-day quarantine at Dwarka Police Training School while highlighting the poor conditions of the facility. "I land at Delhi airport dated 16th March 1:00 am KLM airlines from Spain. I am subject to the 14-day quarantine at a govt facility in Dwarka police training school. I won’t say anything I just give some videos of our *sanitised* accommodation. @PMOIndia @WHO @CISFHQrs," Navya tweeted.
