Congress leaders go into isolation

Vadodara: The Covid-19 pandemic seems to have hit the city unit of the Congress party too. Top leaders of the Congress from the city have gone into home quarantine this week, after former MP and former union minister Bharatsinh Solanki tested Covid-19 positive
State vice president Maulin Vaishnav also tested positive. The leader had been in close contact with Solanki and his first test was found negative. Another test subsequently found him positive. Sources said that the veteran leader’s wife was found negative.
State Congress spokesperson Narendra Ravat and his family including wife and Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) corporator Ami Ravat as well as their son went into home quarantine on Thursday. Narendra Ravat and his wife had to take the decision as their driver had taken ill and tested Covid-19 positive.
The Ravat couple had gone to submit a memorandum regarding the Jambuva solid waste dumping site on Wednesday and even drew flak for venturing out. Narendra said that they had been taking necessary precautions and even maintaining social distance.
Narendra added that the driver too was feeling much better and had been discharged from the hospital. “He had only mild symptoms. None of us have any symptoms, but will stay in quarantine for a week,” he said.
