The party, organized on February 6 by residents of the SNN Raj Lakeview apartment complex, has led to a spurt in Covid-19 cases in the area. As of Tuesday, some 103 residents including drivers, maids and cooks working in the building have tested positive for Covid-19.

The apartment block has 1,500 residents living in 435 flats. The apartment complex is located in the Bommanahalli zone limits in Bilekahalli.

BBMP officials have said that on February 6, some 45 odd residents gathered together for an event in the residential complex. Officials said that a majority of the residents have not displayed any symptoms so far or have been hospitalised.

The first case was detected on February 10 after a resident who had coronavirus symptoms tested positive. The information was relayed to the local BBMP office.

Many of those found positive are youngsters and are now undergoing home quarantine. The BBMP has also sanitized and disinfected the entire complex. On Sunday, 513 residents were tested, 600 more were tested on Monday and another 300 are to be tested on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, senior officials from the BBMP visited the apartment and discussed the situation with the apartment secretary and staff regarding protocols to be followed by the residents.
