New Delhi/IBNS: Delhi health minister Satyendar Jain has tested coronavirus positive on Wednesday, following a negative test report on Tuesday.

Earlier today, Aam Aadmi Party leader and Kalkaji MLA Atishi also tested positive for COVID-19.

He was admitted to state-run Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital (RGSSH) with high temperature and low oxygen levels.

“Due to high-grade fever and a sudden drop of my oxygen levels last night I have been admitted to RGSSH. Will keep everyone updated,” the minister had tweeted on Tuesday.

He had attended a meeting on Sunday with Delhi L-G Anil Baijal, home minister Amit Shah.

Last week, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had gone into isolation after he showed coronavirus-like symptoms, but tested negative for the contagion later.
