Ex-CM Devendra Fadnavis has tested positive for COVID-19 and been shifted to state-run St George's Hospital for treatment. Fadnavis made the announcement on Saturday on social media, asking those who have come in contact with him, to monitor their symptoms and get tested as well.

After feeling unwell on his return from Bihar on Friday night, Fadnavis underwent a test for the disease. The result came on Saturday afternoon. He has been touring the state's flood-affected areas and campaigning for BJP in the run up to the Bihar Assembly elections.
