कोरोना के शुरूआती लक्षण दिखने पर मैंने टेस्ट करवाया और रिपोर्ट पॉजिटिव आई है। मेरी तबीयत ठीक है परन्तु डॉक्टर्स की सलाह पर अस्पताल में भर्ती हो रहा हूँ। मेरा अनुरोध है कि आप में से जो भी लोग गत कुछ दिनों में मेरे संपर्क में आयें हैं, कृपया स्वयं को आइसोलेट कर अपनी जाँच करवाएं।

ನನ್ನ ಕೊರೋನಾ ಪರೀಕ್ಷಾ ವರದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪಾಸಿಟಿವ್ ಎಂದು ಬಂದಿದ್ದು, ರೋಗಲಕ್ಷಣಗಳು ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೂ ಮುನ್ನೆಚ್ಚರಿಕೆ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಯಿಂದ, ವೈದ್ಯರ ಸಲಹೆಯಂತೆ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಗೆ ದಾಖಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಕಳೆದ ಕೆಲವು ದಿನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನನ್ನ ಸಂಪರ್ಕಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದಿರುವವರು, ಕ್ವಾರಂಟೈನ್ ನಲ್ಲಿದ್ದು ಮುಂಜಾಗ್ರತೆ ವಹಿಸಿ ಎಂದು ಕೋರುತ್ತೇನೆ.
