UP CM Yogi Adityanath tests positive for COVID-19; self-isolates

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday announced that he has tested positive for COVID-19. The 48-year-old CM said that he has self-isolated and advised those who came in contact with him to get tested for the viral disease. The development comes a day after the state reported the biggest single-day spike in the number of infections since the pandemic began.

Quote
'I've self-isolated; all work being conducted virtually'

Tweeting in Hindi, Adityanath said, "After developing early symptoms, I got tested for COVID-19 and the report was positive. I have self-isolated and I am strictly following the advice of doctors. All work is being conducted virtually." "All state government activities are being conducted normally. Meanwhile, those who have come in contact with me must get tested and take precautions," he added.
