Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, Manish Sisodia, and eight other MLAs on Monday tested positive for coronavirus.

Sisodia took to twitter and said, "After having mild fever I underwent Covid-19 test, result of which was positive. I have self-quarantined myself. As of now I don't have fever or any other problems and I am completely fine. With all the good wishes I will soon return to work after recovering completely."

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.
