GUWAHATI: Union Minister of India Smriti Irani has tested positive for COVID-19.
“It is rare for me to search for words while making an announcement; hence here’s me keeping it simple – I’ve Tested Positive for COVID and would request those who came in contact with me to get themselves Tested at the earliest,” the Textiles Minister tweeted on Wednesday evening.
The 44-year-old actor-turned-politician had been actively campaigning for the Bihar elections, seeking votes for the National Democratic Alliance government in the state.
Earlier, other public figures including Home Minister Amit Shah, Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari and Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan had also tested positive for COVID-19 but they soon recovered.
