Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Monday took to Twitter to announce that he has gone in self-isolation after having tested positive for coronavirus. He said that he is fine and had no major complications.

"After suffering from mild fever, I took a coronavirus test and turned out to be positive. I have isolated myself. I don't have a fever or any other problem as of now, I am absolutely fine. With your good wishes, I am sure I will return to work soon,'' the 48-year-old minister tweeted in Hindi.

हल्का बुख़ार होने के बाद आज कोरोना टेस्ट क़राया था जिसकी रिपोर्ट पोज़िटिव आई है. मैंने स्वयं को एकांतवास में रख लिया है.
फ़िलहाल बुख़ार या अन्य कोई परेशानी नहीं है मैं पूरी तरह ठीक हूँ. आप सब की दुआओं से जल्द ही पूर्ण स्वस्थ होकर काम पर लौटूँगा.
