“Friends! I’m absolutely fine. To follow protocol I hv isolated myself at home for few days as I had met Amit Shah Ji on Saturday evening for n official meeting. I’m working from home & following daily routine including Yoga & exercise.Also reading books & enjoying classical music, Prasad tweeted.

Another Union minister Babul Supriyo also went into self-isolation as he too had met Shah.

Supriyo said he had been advised by doctors to confine himself away from his family members for the next few days and a test would be done soon.

Earlier Sunday, Shah said he had tested positive for coronavirus and was getting admitted to a hospital following the advice of doctors.

Shah also requested those who had come in contact with him in the last few days to get tested for Covid-19 and isolate themselves.
