The Housing Minister of Maharashtra Jitendra Awhad on Monday as a precautionary measure has quarantined himself after he came in contact with a person who tested positive for coronavirus.
A police official with whom the minister interacted recently has tested positive for coronavirus. Hence, as a precaution, Awhad has decided to self-quarantine for the next few days, a source said.
Awhad represents Thane district’s Kalwa-Mumbra Assembly constituency, where several coronavirus cases have been found in the last couple of weeks.
