Health minister of Delhi Satyendar Jain has been admitted to hospital after showing COVID-19 symptoms and breathing problems in Rajiv Gandhi super specialty hospital on Monday.
Satyendar Jain wrote on Twitter, “Due to high-grade fever and a sudden drop of my oxygen level last night I have been admitted to RGSSH. Will keep everyone updated.”
His test has been done after he was admitted to the hospital. The test reports are awaited but till then he has been provided with oxygen support.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal prayed for his well being when he underwent test for coronavirus and said, “ You have worked relentlessly for the people. Now, take care of yourself.”
Delhi health minister had attended a meeting with the Ministry of Home affairs. Home minister Amit Shah, Health Minister Dr. Harshvardhan, Chief minister, and many more were present in the meeting regarding taking new measures to combat COVID-19.
After the meeting, Health Minister said, “the meeting was fruitful. The central and Delhi government will work together to combat the coronavirus crisis. In testing facilities, there were some lapses on the part of the center. They are extending facilities to us. These lapses will be removed and testing will increase.”
Last week, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal also underwent testing of COVID-19 but reports tested negative.
