Amit Shah tests negative for Covid

Home Minister Amit Shah tested negative for Covid-19 on Friday. He had been staying at a private hospital in Gurgaon, near Delhi.

“Today my coronavirus test report has come negative. I thank God and at the moment and I express my heartfelt gratitude to all those who have blessed me and my family by wishing me well. Will stay in home isolation for a few more days on the advice of doctors,” he tweeted.

“I also thank all the doctors and paramedical staff of Medanta Hospital who have helped me in fighting Corona infection and who have been treating me,” he added.

Shah, 55, had taken part in a cabinet two weeks ago just before he was tested positive for Covid-19. The meeting was attended by all top ministers, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
