An IAS officer is among nine persons who have tested positive for coronavirus in Madhya Pradesh since Thursday night, taking the state's tally to 120, a senior health official said on Friday.
The 2011-batch IAS officer is posted in the health department in Bhopal and has a history of travelling outside Madhya Pradesh in recent times, he said.
He developed symptoms similar to those found in COVID-19 patients and was tested for the viral infection, the official said.
His first report came positive, the official confirmed but added, "We are waiting for his second test report."
