Kapoor later went to Kanpur to meet one of her uncle living there.
The Noida connection was established due to the UP Health Minister Jai Pratap Singh who was among the attendees of the party hosted by former MP Akbar Ahmad Dumpy. The minister went to Noida recently, bringing the city in the list of sanitisation.
The minister has currently self-quarantined himself.
Yogi Adityanath has also ordered the closure of all malls and restaurants in the state, in view of the deadly coronavirus.
“Sanitization will be a massive exercise in which possible suspects will be tracked and checked. We do not want any further spurt in the number of Corona patients. Kanika Kapoor has interacted with an unimaginably large number of people and we cannot take chances,” said a medical official.
