In a statement the company said: "We have been proactively ramping up testing for our employees…Those who have tested positive mostly were asymptomatic showing absolutely no signs of illness. However, they were duly hospitalised and others who were in contact with them have immediately been put in quarantine."
"This is in accordance with World Health Organization guidelines," a spokesman from parent company IHCL said.
IHCL has been allocating rooms for medical workers at five Mumbai hotels and is offering rooms for quarantine patients at various hotels.
