Balangir: Flouting lockdown guidelines blatantly, an 18-year-old youth from the western district of Balangir played cricket in his village and had a haircut. He tested positive for COVID-19 on May 1.
He had reached Balangir on March 17 from textile hub Tirupur, Tamil Nadu, by Dhanbad Express. He came to Lekhiria village from railway station in a hired vehicle along with four co-passengers.
He remained in home quarantine from March 18 to April 5, but played cricket with friends thereafter and also went for a haircut at Salepalli within April 30.
Salons are supposed to remain closed during lockdown.

Notably, a 20-year-old youth of Golamunda in Kalahandi had contracted the virus after playing cricket with a Bahrain-returned man, who had earlier tested corona positive in the district.
