Kirron Kher, a former actor who is now a local MP, tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday. Three other residents of the city, in addition to Kher, also had positive viral tests.
Sharing the news, Kirron Kher took to Twitter, writing, “I have tested positive for Covid. So anyone who has come in contact with me please get yourself tested.”
Health department officials, meanwhile, said she was suffering from a mild infection and was stable.
A year ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, Kher had begun to show active presence in the city and as per information, had attended eight events — two public-interaction programmes and six inaugurations, in the past few days.
Though the city had reported fewer than ten Covid-19 cases a month for the past two months, the health department has already confirmed 29 fresh cases so far in March. No casualty was reported in the city so far this month. The last Covid-related fatality in the city was reported on February 21.
