New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Manoj Tiwari said that he has tested positive for COVID-19 with "mild fever and cold". He added that, since he felt unwell, he had isolated himself since Monday.
Tweeting about it, the BJP leader said "Day before yesterday (January 2), I was feeling unwell since night. Due to mild fever and cold, I could not even go for the Uttarakhand-Rudrapur campaign yesterday. I have tested positive in the test today. Taking precautions, I had isolated myself yesterday only. Please take care of yourself and your family."
He is the third politician to test positive today (Tuesday) after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Union Minister Mahendra Nath Pandey.

Even as the threat of COVID-19 and Omicron, in particular, looms large, political parties continue to hold rallies in election-bound states, throwing caution to the wind.
For instance, Kejriwal was seen in a huge crowd in Punjab just before he said that he had tested positive for COVID-19.
