Former Maharashtra minister and senior Nationalist Congress Party leader Chhagan Bhujbal on Tuesday said he has tested positive for COVID-19.

Bhujbal said he had a fever when he was returning to Nashik from Yeola.

He underwent a test for coronavirus on Monday which came positive.

The NCP leader appealed to all those who had come in contact with him in the past 2-3 days to go for COVID tests if they have symptoms like fever, breathing difficulties, runny nose and a sore throat.
