Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma and his wife have tested positive for coronavirus.
"Me and my wife have tested positive for coronavirus. We are in home isolation and following advice of doctors," the 57-year-old BJP leader said in a tweet on Wednesday evening.
"Those who have come in contact with me should get themselves tested and follow COVID-19 guidelines," he added.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Samajwadi party supremo Akhilesh Yadav had tested positive for the virus on April 14.
