Hoskote MLA Bachegowda, wife test positive

Bachegowda candidly posted on Facebook and Twitter that he and his wife Pratibha Sharath had contracted the virus. Both of them are now self-quarantined.

The post reads: “On Monday, July 6, I had some minor body pain. I and Mrs Pratibha Sarath have been subjected to the Covid-19 test due to constant field work and visits to corona-affected areas. On Wednesday evening, we received a positive report though we do not have any symptoms. On the advice of doctors, we have resorted to home quarantine. I have shared the list of people who have met me in the recent past with the government, and those who are primary contacts have been subjected to quarantine.”
