Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], March 23 : Telangana Congress Working President Revanth Reddy on Tuesday announced that he has tested positive for COVID-19.
In a tweet on Tuesday, Reddy stated that he has tested positive for COVID-19 and he further said that he has isolated himself over the advice of doctors.
He further appealed to all who have been in close contact with him for the past few days to take necessary precautions.
"I have been tested positive for covid and isolated myself on doctor's advice. Whoever has been in contact from the past few days, please take necessary precautions...," he tweeted.
