Union minister Smriti Irani on Wednesday said that she has tested positive for COVID-19.
The women and child development and textiles minister asked the people who came in contact with her to get themselves tested for the disease at the earliest.
"It is rare for me to search for words while making an announcement; hence here's me keeping it simple -- I've tested positive for #COVID and would request those who came in contact with me to get themselves tested at the earliest," she said in a tweet.
Smriti Irani campaigned for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday for the Bihar Assembly polls.
Soon after Smriti Irani made the announcement, wishes poured in for her on Twitter.
