Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat tests positive for Covid-19
New Delhi/UNI: Union Minister for Jal Shakti Gajendra Singh Shekhawat has tested positive for Novel Coronavirus.
In a tweet on Thursday, the minister said, "After some signs of illness, I underwent a corona test and my report came positive. I am getting hospitalized on the advice of doctors. I request that those who have come in contact with me in the past few days isolate themselves and get themselves tested. May all of you remain healthy and take care of yourself."
अस्वस्थता के कुछ लक्षण दिखने पर मैंने कोरोना टेस्ट करवाया और मेरी रिपोर्ट पॉजिटिव आई है। डॉक्टर्स की सलाह पर अस्पताल में भर्ती हो रहा हूँ। मेरा अनुरोध है कि गत दिनों में मेरे संपर्क में जो लोग आये हैं वह स्वयं को आइसोलेट कर अपनी जाँच करवाएं। आप सभी स्वस्थ रहें और अपना ध्यान रखें।
