New Delhi: Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Minister Satish Mahana and Haryana Power Minister Chaudhary Ranjeet Singh on Saturday tested positive for COVID-19.

“After showing initial symptoms of COVID-19 I underwent the test yesterday following which I have been tested positive. I am in home isolation as advised by the doctors. I would request all those who came in my contact in the past few days, should get themselves tested,” Mahana tweeted.

कोविड के प्रारम्भिक लक्षण दिखने पर कल मैंने टेस्ट करवाया जिसकी रिपोर्ट पॉजिटिव आई है। डॉक्टर्स की सलाह से मैंने खुद को घर पर आइसोलेट कर लिया है।
मेरा निवेदन है कि आप में से जो भी लोग गत कुछ दिनों में मेरे संपर्क में आयें हैं, कृपया अपनी जाँच करवा लें।
