Abhishek Bachchan tweeted that his mother Jaya Bachchan tested negative while Aishwarya and Aradhya Bachchan tested positive for COVID-19. On July 11, Aishwarya and other family members had been tested using rapid antigen kits. As per protocol, the swab samples of those who tested negative using the rapid antigen kit had been taken for RT-PCR tests. Aishwarya and Aaradhya tested positive for the swab test, but Jaya, daughter Shweta Nanda, and her two children tested negative, the BMC officials confirmed. Jaya Bachchan would be tested again later to overrule any negative reporting and is quarantining for 14 days.

Amitabh Bachchan requested all those who have been in proximity to him in the last ten days, to get themselves tested for COVID-19.

ANI report citing the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) revealed that 30 people working at the bungalows had been tested for coronavirus, and their results are awaited. Bachchan's four bungalows - Jalsa, Janak, Pratiksha, and Vatsa – have been sealed and declared as containment zones after proper sanitization. All residents have been placed under a 14-day quarantine.
