Jaipur/UNI: Rajasthan Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Satish Poonia here on Friday said he has tested positive for Covid-19 and is under home isolation.

"Yesterday, I went through a COVID-19 test despite being asymptomatic, but the report came positive and as per doctors' advice, I have isolated myself at my home," Poonia wrote in Hindi on his official twitter handle.

The 55-year-old leader asked all the people who came under his contact in past days to get tested for the virus.
