"Since I had mild symptoms from Saturday, I had isolated myself from Saturday only," Mehta said in the statement.

Referring to the swearing in ceremony of President Droupadi Murmu, he said ,"I am feeling sorry for myself that I won't be able to personally witness the historic oath".

The Solicitor General would virtually appear in two-three small matters in the apex court on Monday and thereafter would take leave for few days.
