He said that there is no need to panic and he will get well soon.


Prior to Jai Pratap Singh, the ministers of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra government have also tested positive.

After the COVID-19 report of Health Minister Jai Pratap Singh, there is an atmosphere of panic in the state. Recently he attended meetings with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and other officials. Now those who come in contact with him are being quarantined.
