Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has said he tested positive for Covid-19, a day after speaking at an election rally where none of the people on the dais could be seen wearing a mask despite rising infections in the country.
Kejriwal, the most senior elected official in the territory of Delhi, was one of the 37,379 new Covid-19 cases reported in India in the past 24 hours, Reuters reported.
Kejriwal, who addressed the rally in the poll-bound state of Uttarakhand, said in a Twitter post he had isolated at home with mild symptoms and urged those who came in touch with him in recent days to do similar and be tested for Covid-19.
