Shah also urged to those who had recently come in contact with him to isolate themselves and get tested for COVID-19.
Given the highly busy schedule he carries, the list goes long for those who will need to worry for their health.
Shah becomes the first senior minister from the Government of India to have contracted the highly transmissible virus.
However, several other leaders have tested positive for the disease in past including Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan and BJP leader Jyotiraditya Scindia.
Earlier today, Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Minister Kamal Rani Varun passed away due to coronavirus at a Lucknow hospital.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
