Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal announced that he has tested positive for Covid-19. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief wrote on Twitter that he was isolating at home. He has undertaken many trips to poll-bound states like Goa and Punjab to campaign for his party.

The rising positivity rate is a concern and could lead to stricter curbs in the national capital. Currently, Delhi is under a ‘Yellow Alert’, the first level of restrictions under the Graded Response Action Plan (Grap). Watch the full video for more.
