Here’s a look at the largest quarantine facility in the country:

Indian defence forces have set up several quarantines at Manesar, Jodhpur and Jhansi.

All the incoming travelers from China, Italy, Kora, France, Spain, Greece or Germany were either asked to quarantine themselves or taken to these centres.

India’s largest quarantine facility — Wellness Centre Jaisalmer — is located in Western Rajasthan.

The centre was set up in mid-February after the number of Coronavirus infections started to balloon. Two battalions of troops were moved to Rajasthan to make arrangements.

As of now, the facility has 700 beds but the military is keeping over a dozen of its hospitals on standby, if need be.
