Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Wednesday said he has tested positive for coronavirus.
Sawant (47) said he is asymptomatic and under home isolation.
"I wish to inform that I have been detected COVID19 positive. I am asymptomatic and hence have opted for home isolation. I shall continue to discharge my duties working from home. Those who have come in my close contact are advised to take the necessary precautions," he tweeted.
Sawant is the latest chief minister to test positive for COVID-19. Earlier, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa had tested positive for COVID-19 and recovered.
