AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday said he got his antigen and RT-PCR (reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction) tests done for Covid-19 and that antigen test result was negative. He said the outcome of the RT-PCR test would be known after 30 hours. Owaisi appealed to the people not to hesitate but get tested.

"Got my antigen & RT-PCR tests done for Covid-19 today. My antigen test results were negative, Alhamdulilah (all praise is due to God alone)," the Lok Sabha member said. "There are 30-odd centres in the south of Hyderabad where antigen testing is being conducted, I encourage all of you to not hesitate & get tested!" he tweeted. The two tests were conducted at different places in the city.
