Kolkata/IBNS: Two Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders, Derek O'Brien and Luizinho Faleiro, have tested positive for COVID-19.

O'Brien, a Rajya Sabha MP, tweeted, "Have tested positive for #COVID. Moderate symptoms. Isolating at home. If you have come into contact with me in the last three days, and have symptoms, please seek medical advice. (Was always ultra-careful. Yet.)."

Faleiro, a former Goa Chief Minister, tweeted, "I have tested positive for #COVID19 and am isolating myself as per doctor’s advice. Request all those who came in contact with me the past few days to get themselves tested as a precautionary measure. Stay safe!"

Earlier in the day, Indian cricket board president Sourav Ganguly was admitted to a private hospital after testing positive for coronavirus.
