Delhi health minister Satyendar Jain tests positive for Covid-19

Delhi health minister Satyendar Jain tested coronavirus positive on Wednesday, a day after his first came out negative.

Earlier in the day, his party colleague Atishi said she had tested positive for coronavirus.

The minister was admitted to the state-run Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital (RGSSH) in the city on Monday night after he developed a fever and his oxygen level dropped.

In a tweet on Tuesday, the minister – who attended a meeting on Sunday with Delhi L-G Anil Baijal, home minister Amit Shah – said, “Due to high-grade fever and a sudden drop of my oxygen levels last night I have been admitted to RGSSH. Will keep everyone updated.”

Last week, Arvind Kejriwal had gone into self-isolation at his home after he had a bout of fever and complained of sore throat. Kejriwal had tested negative for Covid-19.
