Jaipur, (Samajweekly) Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot announced on Twitter on Thursday that he has tested positive for Covid-19. The Chief Minister had previously tested positive for Coronavirus during the second wave of the pandemic in April last year.
Taking to Twitter, Gehlot said: “This evening I got myself tested for Covid and was found positive. My symptoms are very light and there is no other problem. All those who came into contact with me today, I request them to isolate themselves and undergo Covid-Test.”
“According to the doctors, one of the reasons for the problem related to the artery blockage I had in August 2021 was also the post-Covid problem. Therefore, taking Omicron seriously, follow all the Covid protocols and get both doses of the vaccine,” he said in another tweet.
