Covid: Union minister in quarantine after meeting infected BJP leader in J&K

Union minister Jitendra Singh placed himself in quarantine on July 14.

He made the announcement on Twitter, citing the positive test result of Ravinder Raina, president of Bharatiya Janata Party's Jammu and Kashmir unit.

Singh, who is Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office, had visited J&K's Bandipore along with Raina and another BJP leader, Ram Madhav.

Raina said he was in Bandipore for 5 days following the murder of a BJP worker and his family members at the hands of terrorists.

The J&K administration has begun contact tracing.
