After reaching Rath, Anju and her husband Ashok ,28, went to a Community Health Centre where they underwent medical checkup.
Doctors conducted a thermal screening and declared the couple to be normal. However, they were instructed to remain quarantined for 14 days.
Ashok is a landless farmer and works at a construction site in Noida. They walked for 200 km up to Orai and finally reached Rath on a loader. Anju and her husband were in constant touch with their family during the journey.
