Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has tested negative for COVID-19 but is in home quarantine as a precautionary measure, a source close to the senior NCP leader said here on Thursday.
Pawar, 61, was feeling feverish after his recent visit of rain-affected areas in Pune and Solapur districts and took the coronavirus test, whose report was negative.
As a precautionary measure, Pawar is in home quarantine in Mumbai and will be attending official meetings, including those of the state cabinet, via video-conferencing for the next few days, the source said.
Over a dozen Maharashtra ministers have tested positive in the last few months.
