Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi took to Twitter and said she has tested positive for Covid-19 again
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday said she has tested positive for Covid again and would be isolating at home while following all protocols.
The Congress general secretary had also tested positive for COVID-19 in June last year. "Tested positive for Covid (again!) today. Will be isolating at home and following all protocols," she said in a tweet.
Several Congress leaders have contracted Covid such as communications department head Pawan Khera and party MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi.
Party Chief Sonia Gandhi had also tested positive for Covid in early June this year.
On Tuesday evening, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha and senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge also said he has tested positive for Covid.
"I have tested positive for #COVID19. I request those who came in contact with me recently to take care," Mr. Kharge tweeted.
“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”
