His Delhi visit stands cancelled
Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has again tested positive for COVID-19 after a gap of seven months. Following this, his scheduled Delhi visit has been cancelled.
Revealing his test results in a tweet on Saturday, the Chief Minister said: “I have tested positive or COVID with mild symptoms and have isolated myself at home. Those who came in contact with me in the last few days kindly isolate yourselves and get tested. My trip to Delhi stands cancelled.”
Previously, the Chief Minister had tested positive in January this year.
While residents are worried over deaths due to diarrhoea in Vijayawada, officials still grapple to find the root cause. Contaminated drinking water supplied by VMC officials is the reason, insist people in the affected areas, but officials insist that efforts are on to identify the disease and that those with symptoms other than diarrhoea too are visiting the health camps.
