On Monday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's sample was collected for COVID-19 test after developing sore throat and fever. The test report is expected later in the night or by Wednesday morning.
Arvind Kejriwal has gone into self-quarantine after developing sore throat and fever. The 51-year-old chief minister, who is also a diabetic, was feeling unwell since Sunday afternoon.
"As the chief minister is unwell, he has gone into self-isolation. He has sore throat and cough. He will get himself tested for COVID-19 tomorrow," Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia said during an online media briefing on Monday.
Earlier officials said Kejriwal has also developed mild fever. On Sunday morning, the CM held a cabinet meeting at his official residence which was attended by many ministers, including Sisodia, Environment Minister Gopal Rai, Health Minister Satyendar Jain, officials said. Chief Secretary Vijay Dev was also present during the meeting.
The chief minister has been holding most of his meetings via video conferencing from his official residence for past two months, but has been going to the Delhi LG's office for some important meetings. On June 2, Kejriwal and Sisodia had attended a meeting at the LG office, which has so far reported 13 COVID-19 cases.
