New Delhi/UNI: Union Information & Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar on Friday said he has tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

"I have tested #COVID positive today. All those who have come in contact with me in the last 2-3 days may please get themselves tested," the Minister informed through Twitter.
