- Governor Describes reports appearing in a section of press ‘Baseless’
- 16 personnel at Raj Bhavan test positive for COVID-19
Bhagat Singh Koshyari, Governor of Maharashtra on Sunday said that “I am perfectly alright, and not in self-isolation. I underwent relevant tests, the result of which came in the negative. There are no symptoms of COVID – 19 either. However, considering the COVID – 19 situation elsewhere, I am discharging all my official duties strictly adhering to protocols like social distancing, sanitizing, wearing of masks, etc. Reports appearing in a section of the press regarding my health are baseless. I am hale and hearty”.
This comes after reports surfaced saying that Maharashtra Governor had self-isolated himself as a precautionary measure after 16 personnel at Raj Bhavan in Mumbai tested coronavirus positive.
It may be noted that sixteen staff members at Raj Bhavan have tested positive until now. Of the 16, two had tested positive last week. Later, tests of around 100 staff members were undertaken by the governor’s office. Of the 100, around 14 have been tested positive. The civic body has sealed the staff quarters and carried out sanitisation of the premises. The staff members who tested positive are in quarantine. This was mentioned in the BMC statement.
