Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa has tested positive for Covid-19 and has been admitted to Manipal Hospitals on the advice of doctors as a precautionary measure. Sources in the CM’s office said that the 77-year-old leader’s results came positive as part of the once-in-seven-days tests conducted by the health department.

Yediyurappa tweeted at 11.30 pm yesterday that he was tested positive for coronavirus. Saying that he is fine, he has tweeted that he is hospitalised as a precaution on the recommendation of doctors. He has requested those who have come in contact with him recently to be observant and exercise self quarantine.

Sources said the CM recently met governor Vajubhai Vala and the latter is likely to undergo tests. A few days back the ministers CT Ravi, Anand Singh and BC Patil were tested positive.
