BENGALURU:
The dreaded coronavirus is now making inroads in Karnataka’s political establishment. In less than a day after Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar’s father tested positive for Covid-19, the minister’s wife and daughter have also tested positive for the virus. Fortunately for Sudhakar, and by extension for other cabinet ministers in contact with him, he has himself tested negative, and so have his two sons.
On Monday, Sudhakar’s father PN Keshava Reddy was confirmed as being infected with the virus. He has been admitted to a hospital.
