NEW DELHI: Arvind Kejriwal, the Delhi Chief Minister, stated on Tuesday that he has tested positive for Covid-19 and is experiencing "moderate symptoms."

He took to Twitter to say: " I have tested positive for Covid with mild symptoms, I have  isolated myself at home. Those who came in touch with me in last few days, kindly isolate yourself and get yourself tested." This comes as the new highly transmissible Omicron strain is causing a Covid-19 revival in Delhi.

On May 18, the Delhi Health Department reported a positive rate of 6.89 percent in the city. So far, 351 Omicron cases have been found in the capital, with 57 of them being released from the hospital.
