Jaipur: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje have tested positive for Covid-10. Both leaders announced on social media on Monday that they have been infected with the viral disease. The development comes at a time when the number of active cases of Covid-19 is gradually increasing in Rajasthan and has crossed 189 in the State.

Taking to Twitter Gehlot said that he has been infected with Covid-19 with mild symptoms and will be working from home for a few days as per the doctor's advice.

As per the advice of the doctors, I will continue working from my residence for the next few days. All of you take care and follow the Covid protocol," tweeted Gehlot in Hindi.

  • पिछले कुछ दिनों में देशभर में कोविड के मामले बढ़े हैं। मैं स्वयं भी हल्के लक्षणों के साथ कोविड से संक्रमित हो गया हूं। डॉक्टरों की सलाह के अनुसार अगले कुछ दिन निवास से ही कार्य जारी रखूंगा। आप सब सावधानी बरतें एवं कोविड प्रोटोकॉल का पालन करें।
