Former Union minister and BJP MP Suresh Prabhu has self quarantined himself at his residence for the next 14 days, as a precautionary measure following his return from Saudi Arabia to attend a meeting on March 10.
Sources said though Prabhu has tested negative for the coronavirus, he, however has decided to stay in isolation as a precaution.
Earlier, Union Minister of State V Muraleedharan too self-quarantined himself at his residence in the national capital as a precautionary measure after a medical institute he had visited recently had reported a COVID-19 case. He too had tested negative.
The total number of the coronavirus cases in India has climbed to 147 on Wednesday.
