Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday said he has tested positive for Covid-19.
He had on Tuesday isolated himself after some officials in his contact tested positive for coronavirus.
“After noticing initial symptoms, I got myself tested. My report is positive. I am in self-isolation and following doctors advice. I am doing all the work virtually,” Adityanath tweeted from his official Twitter handle.
शुरुआती लक्षण दिखने पर मैंने कोविड की जांच कराई और मेरी रिपोर्ट पॉजिटिव आई है।
मैं सेल्फ आइसोलेशन में हूं और चिकित्सकों के परामर्श का पूर्णतः पालन कर रहा हूं। सभी कार्य वर्चुअली संपादित कर रहा हूं।

मेरे कार्यालय के कुछ अधिकारी कोरोना से संक्रमित हुए हैं।
यह अधिकारी मेरे संपर्क में रहे हैं, अतः मैंने एहतियातन अपने को आइसोलेट कर लिया है एवं सभी कार्य वर्चुअली प्रारम्भ कर रहा हूं।

Earlier, he had said, “The officers of my office tested positive for coronavirus. They were in touch with me, therefore, as a precaution, I am isolating myself and starting all my work digitally.”
Some officials, including his Officer on Special Duty (OSD) Abhishek Kaushik, tested positive for Covid-19.
Chief Minister Adityanath’s announcement comes just after his predecessor Akhilesh Yadav said he had tested positive for the virus.
अभी-अभी मेरी कोरोना टेस्ट की रिपोर्ट पॉज़िटिव आई है। मैंने अपने आपको सबसे अलग कर लिया है व घर पर ही उपचार शुरू हो गया है।
पिछले कुछ दिनों में जो लोग मेरे संपर्क में आये हैं, उन सबसे विनम्र आग्रह है कि वो भी जाँच करा लें। उन सभी से कुछ दिनों तक आइसोलेशन में रहने की विनती भी है।

In a tweet in Hindi, Yadav said, “My corona test report has come positive. I have isolated myself and started treatment at home itself. People who have come in contact with me in the past few days should get themselves tested. They are requested to stay in isolation for some days.”
Yadav had recently visited Haridwar where the Kumbh Mela is underway and met various religious leaders, including Akhara Parishad chairman Mahant Narendra Giri who had tested positive for Covid-19 earlier.
The hosting of the holy Kumbh Mela attended by lakhs of devotees has come under considerable scrutiny from the national and international press. Many questioned the govt’s decision to hold the annual Kumbh Mela at a time when India is going through a second wave of COVID-19 and many states have begun night curfews and complete lockdown.
