MUMBAI: The novel coronavirus has not spared anyone, it's our leaders who are baring the burnt of it. Union minister Smriti Irani on Wednesday announced that she has tested positive for coronavirus disease (Covid-19) and requested those who had come in contact with her to get tested at the earliest.
“It is rare for me to search for words while making an announcement; hence here’s me keeping it simple — I’ve tested positive for #COVID and would request those who came in contact with me to get themselves tested at the earliest,” the Union minister tweeted.

Irani is one of the prominent BJP leaders who have campaigned extensively in the Bihar state for the ongoing Assembly polls. The Union minister for Women and Child Development (WCD) had also traveled to her Lok Sabha (LS) constituency Amethi last week and announced several projects for her constituency, which used to be a Gandhi family’s pocket borough for years until she wrested the prestigious seat from Rahul Gandhi in last year’s parliamentary polls, during the festive season.

It was also her first visit to Amethi since the coronavirus disease (Covid-19)-induced lockdown restrictions, which were enforced from the end of March in a bid to keep the viral infection at bay.
Well, we wish Smiriti Irani a speedy recovery
