Bengaluru, Aug 03: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa's daughter has tested positive for coronavirus a day after his test result came positive. His daughter has been admitted to Manipal Hospital in Bengaluru.

In a late-night tweet on Sunday, Yeddyurappa said: "I am tested positive for coronavirus. I am healthy and admitted to hospital as per doctors advice. I request all who have come to contact with me to exercise self quarantine."
