Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Wednesday tested positive for coronavirus. Gadkari had attended Parliament monsoon session on Monday and was seated in the front row for a brief moment.

The minister has isolated himself and has requested everyone who has come in his contact to follow required protocols.

After feeling weakness on Tuesday, Gadkari consulted his doctor regarding his health. During medical check up, the minister tested positive for Covid-19.

“I am at present doing well with the blessings and good wishes of all. I have isolated myself,” Gadkari wrote on Twitter.

Gadkari is the second minister this week to have tested positive for coronavirus. Earlier this week on Monday, Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia had informed everyone that he has tested Covid positive and has self isolated himself.

“Right now there is no fever or any other complication. I am completely fine. By your good wishes and blessing, I will soon return to work,” Sisodia wrote on Twitter in Hindi.
