“Yesterday (Friday), I came back from Covid hospital. I’m healthy and I look recovered, thanks to your wishes and blessings,” Shivakumar said. “But doctors have advised me not to meet anyone for another week. So, I need to be under home quarantine. Please don’t come home to meet me, because my staff won’t allow that,” he told party workers and supporters.

On August 24, the 58-year-old Congress leader was admitted to Suguna Hospital in Rajajinagar for Covid-19 treatment. He was discharged on August 31 after he “responded well to the treatment,” the hospital had said in a statement.

However, Shivakumar was admitted to Apollo Hospital in Jayanagar last week as fever relapsed.
