Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij tests covid positive

Haryana's Home and Health Minister Anil Vij on Wednesday tested covid positive. "I have tested corona positive today. I have isolated myself. I request all those who have come into contact with me for the last few days to get themselves tested," the 69-year-old senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader said in a tweet.

Vij had taken part in an International Yoga Day function at Ambala Cantonment on Tuesday and also addressed a gathering later.

Vij had in 2020 too contracted covid and was hospitalised for nearly a month.
