Shiromani Akali Dal leader Harsimrat Kaur Badal tested positive for coronavirus on Friday. The former Union Cabinet Minister of Food Processing Industries, who resigned over the farm laws, tweeted that she has mild symptoms and has quarantined herself at her home.

“I have quarantined myself at home and am taking all the necessary precautions. I would request all those who came in contact with me to isolate and get themselves tested at the earliest,” the 54-year-old SAD MP from Punjab’s Bathinda said.

Badal's husband and SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal had also recently tested positive for Covid-19 and recovered.
