Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Friday tested positive for Covid-19, a day after meeting union Home Minister Amit Shah and Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma in Delhi.

CM Sangma urged everyone who has come in contact with him to isolate themselves and get tested if necessary.

“I have tested positive for Covid-19. I am isolating myself for the required time. I have mild symptoms. All those who came into contact with me in the last few days are requested to observe their symptoms and test if necessary,” he tweeted.

CM Sangma and Assam CM Sarma had met Union Minister Shah on Thursday to submit reports on the amicable resolution of dispute in a few areas along the Meghalaya-Assam interstate boundary. 

CM Sangma, who is also the President of the ruling National People’s Party (NPP), also earlier took part in various meetings and campaigns in poll-bound Manipur.

However, Chief Minister did not attend the 50th Statehood function at Jawaharlal Nehru Sports Complex on Friday as he kept in isolation after he started developing symptoms of a cold.

During the programme, the dignitaries launched the documentation on 50 years of Meghalaya and a commemorative stamp of the state, while Assembly Speaker Metbah Lyngdoh launched the state emblem.
