Amit Shah says he has tested negative for Covid, to stay in home isolation for few days

आज मेरी कोरोना टेस्ट रिपोर्ट नेगेटिव आई है।

मैं ईश्वर का धन्यवाद करता हूँ और इस समय जिन लोगों ने मेरे स्वास्थ्यलाभ के लिए शुभकामनाएं देकर मेरा और मेरे परिजनों को ढाढस बंधाया उन सभी का ह्रदय से आभार व्यक्त करता हूँ।
डॉक्टर्स की सलाह पर अभी कुछ और दिनों तक होम आइसोलेशन में रहूँगा।

The 55-year-old BJP leader was hospitalised after having tested positive for the virus on August 2. Sharing the news on Twitter, Shah had then advised people who came in contact with him in days before to get themselves tested and go under isolation. “On getting the initial symptoms of coronavirus, I got the test done and the report came back positive. My health is fine, but I am being admitted to the hospital on the advice of doctors. I request those who came in contact with me in last few days to get tested for coronavirus and isolate themselves,” Amit Shah tweeted.

Later that day, Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa had also tested positive for coronavirus. He has been discharged from Manipal Hospital in Bengaluru after recovering from the infection on August 10.
