This is the second time that the 70-year-old has been infected with the virus. Recently his son Vaibhav Gehlot has also been tested positive for Covid-19. In a series of tweets, the chief minister urged people to follow all health protocols.
"According to the doctors, one of the reasons for the problem related to the artery blockage I had in August, 2021 is also the post-Covid problems. Therefore, taking Omicron too seriously, follow the Covid protocol and get both doses of the vaccine," Gehlot said. He said that post-Covid problems can include asthma, frequent headaches, lung diseases, kidney problems and even heart disease. He also warned about the Omicron variant of the coronavirus.
"There is a belief among the general public that the Omicron variant of Corona is not fatal, so people are being careless. Experts are of the opinion that post-Covid problems after recovery from Omicron can be as severe as the earlier variants," he said.
