Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar, who has been busy reviewing the functioning of different departments and progress of works in the past few weeks, has tested positive for COVID-19.
He underwent testing after he felt some uneasiness. The tests confirmed that he is COVID-positive.
Mr. Somesh Kumar reportedly took the first dose of vaccination a couple of days ago.
Though there were no visible symptoms of the infection, the Chief Secretary reportedly decided to keep himself off regular duties for a few days. He advised people who met him recently to undergo tests if they have symptoms of the virus.
