Mumbai: Veteran actress Rekha had refused to undergo COVID-19 test earlier this month after her security guard got infected with the deadly virus.
As per a DNA report, Mumbai Mayor Mayuri Pednekar has stated that it’s important for Rekha to undergo the swab test for COVID-19 for her own well-being.
“Whether there are any symptoms or not, it is important to undergo a swab test for her as age is an important factor in this and she can’t escape it. Rekha must undergo the test for her fans and well-wishers,” said the Mayor.
After Rekha’s security guard tested positive for COVID-19, the actress’ bungalow Sea Springs in Bandra was sealed and declared a containment zone.
