COVID-19: Chief Minister Chouhan of India’s Madhya Pradesh tests positive

Bhopla: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Saturday tested positive for COVID-19. “I am following all COVID-19 guidelines and have quarantined myself as per the advice of the doctors,” the chief minister said on Twitter after the announcement.

“I will be participating in the daily Covid-19 review meeting via video conferencing,” he also said.

On Thursday, former minister and Congress leader PC Sharma alleged that coronavirus was spreading in the state due to rallies and meetings conducted by the BJP while attacking the Chouhan-led government over its inept handling of COVID-19 crisis.

“The condition of the state is worrisome and unfortunate. Three months of lockdown, then unlock period, Saturday-Sunday lockdown and now lockdown has been imposed for 10 days. The government has failed in handling coronavirus. There are no beds available in hospitals for COVID patients,” Sharma told reporters here.
