Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Thursday tested negative for Covid-19. This comes in the backdrop of the Chief Minister attending a meeting with Union Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, who has been found infected with the contagious disease.
However, Khattar decided to go into home quarantine for the next three days as a precautionary measure.
Khattar had attended a meeting on the Sutlej Yamuna Link with Shekhawat on Tuesday. In a tweet earlier on Thursday, the Union minister said he has tested positive for Covid-19. "Dear friends, during the past few days, I have come in contact with many people who were found to have symptoms of corona. Though I underwent a Covid-19 test that came negative, I have decided to go into home quarantine for three days as a precautionary measure," Khattar said in a tweet in Hindi.
