The present second wave of novel Coronavirus is raising many fears and concerns with the massive rise in new cases. Just like the first wave of the virus, big names in various fields are testing positive.
Former Indian Cricketer Sachin Tendulkar joined the list of celebrities who tested positive for respiratory disease in the second wave. The legendary player announced the same on his Twitter handle.
In a note, the 47-year-old said he has tested positive for Covid-19 with mild symptoms. Other family members have tested negative. I have quarantined myself at home and following the protocols, Sachin said.
“I have been testing myself and taking all the recommended precautions to ensure Covid is kept at bay. However, I’ve tested positive today following mild symptoms. All others at home have tested negative. I’ve quarantined myself at home and am following all the necessary protocols as advised by my doctors. I want to thank all the healthcare professionals who are supporting me and many others across the country. Take care all of you,” Sachin tweeted.
On the other hand, Actor-politician Paresh Rawal had also tested positive for the pandemic. The ace actor had come in contact with the pandemic weeks after taking the first dose of vaccine against Coronavirus.
“Unfortunately, I have tested positive for COVID-19. All those that have come in contact with me in the last 10 days are requested to please get themselves tested,” Paresh Rawal’s tweet reads.
So far, Bollywood Celebrities like Milind Soman, R Madhavan, Aamir Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Kartik Aaryan, Rohit Saraf, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Manoj Bajpayee, Ranvir Shorey had come in contact with the respiratory disease.
When celebrities can test positive for the virus, normal people should be even more careful about following Covid-19 behavior like wearing masks and maintaining physical distancing with others.
