Chandigarh, August 24
Two days before the beginning of the monsoon session of the Haryana Assembly, Speaker Gian Chand Gupta tested positive for coronavirus on Monday.
He has isolated himself at home after the report.
On Sunday, Gupta’s political secretary and a nephew had tested positive for the virus.
After this, the Speaker gave his samples, since he was not feeling well.
Panchkula Civil Surgeon Dr Jasjit Kaur confirmed that in the report that came in on Monday, Gupta was found positive for Covid-19. She said that Gupta was under home-isolation and stable.
A few days back, Gupta had decided that all those attending the assembly session, including the CM, ministers, MLAs and bureaucrats will have to undergo tests for virus and only those who test negative will be allowed to attend the session.
