Last month, Union Home Minister Amit Shah had tested positive for Covid-19.
Before the commencement of the Monsoon Session of Parliament on September 14, 17 Member of Parliament (MPs) tested positive for coronavirus in mandatory tests conducted before the Monsoon Session of Parliament.
As many as 12 MPs from the BJP, the most from any party in Lok Sabha, were found infected with the disease during the test followed by the YSR Congress’s two MPs and one each of the DMK, the Shiv Sena and the RLP.
The Lok Sabha members were tested at the Parliament House on September 13 and 14 — during a mandatory test for those attending this year’s Monsoon Session which will end on October 1.
