Srinagar: National Conference Vice President and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah Friday said he has tested positive for COVID-19.
Taking to micro blogging social networking site twitter Omar wrote “For a year I did my best to dodge this damn virus but it’s finally caught up with me. I tested positive for #COVID 19 this afternoon. I’m completely asymptotic. Based on medical advice I’m self-isolating at home & monitoring my parameters like oxygen saturation levels etc.” In yet another tweet Omar said “I am very grateful to everyone reaching out to me here on Twitter to wish me well. I apologise for not replying individually. For the next few days I’m focusing on beating this virus & will be back here after the battle is won.” It may be mentioned here that Omar’s father Farooq Abdullah had tested positive for covid-19 last week and is now recuperating from the infection.
