Sunny Deol tests positive for COVID-19

Actor-politician Sunny Deol has tested positive for COVID-19. Sunny, who had been staying in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh for some days to recover from a shoulder surgery, shared his diagnosis on Twitter.

“I got myself tested for coronavirus and the result has come back positive,” he wrote. “I am in isolation and feeling well. I request all those who came in contact with me recently to isolate themselves and get tested.”

मैंने कोरोना टेस्ट करवाया और रिपोर्ट पॉजिटिव आई है। मैं एकांतवास में हूं और मेरी तबीयत ठीक है। मेरा अनुरोध है कि आप में से जो भी लोग गत कुछ दिनों में मेरे संपर्क में आयें हैं, कृपया स्वयं को आइसोलेट कर अपनी जाँच करवाएं।

According to a statement, Sunny got himself tested in Manali, Himachal Pradesh before returning to Mumbai. "He has been tested positive but is asymptomatic and feeling absolutely alright. He would be under home quarantine in Manali till he recovers completely. He is following all the instructions given by the authorities and taking necessary precautions," the statement read.

The 64-year-old actor had gone to Manali for a few days to recoup after his shoulder surgery last month, as advised by the doctors to isolate himself.
