The 66-year-old singer had said on Tuesday that he was in isolation at a Mumbai hotel as a preventive measure after he arrived in India from a concert in Europe.

“The doctors have come and gave me reports now and said that I don’t have any symptoms of coronavirus and that I can go home. I was never against conducting the test and I urge everyone to come forward and do the test if need be. If any of you have any difficulty inform the doctors as this affects others also. Why to put others in danger?

“I am very happy I underwent the test and kept myself under observation and came out clean. I urge everyone to cooperate just like me,” Jalota said in a video, which he posted on Facebook.
