On Sunday, Uma Bharti wrote on her twitter: "I want to bring to your notice, that on the last day of my mountain journey, I called up a coronavirus test team, following the request by the administration because I had mild fever for last three days. Despite following all legal prohibition for Covid-19 and social distancing in the Himalayas, I have turned out to be Corona positive," she tweeted late Saturday.

"All those who came into my contact...I appeal to them to get their corona tests done and take precautions," she said.
