Maharashtra home minister Dilip Walse Patil Covid positive 2nd time in a year; Kandivli MLA infected despite 2 jabs

MUMBAI: Two MLAs have tested positive for Covid-19.

Maharashtra home minister Dilip Walse Patil tested positive for the second time in a year. He tweeted on Thursday that he had mild symptoms. “I have tested positive. My condition is stable and I am following my doctor’s advice. I urge all those who came in contact with me during Nagpur & Amravati tour, & other programs, to get themselves tested,” he posted.

Meanwhile, BJP MLA from Kandivli Yogesh Sagar continues to be positive after a 12-day hospital stay.

Sagar said he took both doses of Covaxin in April and three tests showed his body had not produced a sufficient amount of antibodies. “I appeal to everyone to put on their face masks at all times and wash their hands regularly,” he told TOI.
