Newly inducted Rajya Sabha MP Deepender Singh Hooda went into self-isolation at his Delhi residence on Friday as he had come in contact with Rajasthan MP Dushyant Singh at the Parliament on Wednesday. Dushyant had recently met singer Kanika Kapoor who has tested positive for Covid-19.

Confirming the development, Deepender Hooda’s mother Asha Hooda told Hindustan Times, “He took the decision after Dushyant told him over the phone that he along with his mother, Vasundhara Raje, have gone into self-isolation,” she said.

“This decision was taken in view of WHO guidelines of social distancing which is essential to contain the virus,” she added.

Asha Hooda said that her husband, Bhupinder Hooda, is also staying indoors in wake of the coronavirus outbreak but he will be available over phone.

“Our entire family will follow Janta curfew and we urge people to stay inside their homes for their own safety,” she said.

Rajasthan MP Dushyant Singh had attended Bollywood celebrity Kanika Kapoor’s party in Lucknow after she landed from the UK. After meeting Kapoor, Dushyant had attended the Parliament and shared dinner with many MPs, including President Ram Nath Kovind and defence minister Rajnath Singh.
