Although Priyanka tested negative for the virus, doctors reportedly advised her to self-isolate as she had been in close contact with her husband.

Priyanka took to Twitter to covey her condition.

“I have to cancel my visit to Assam, Kerala and Tamil Nadu for campaigning as I will be self-isolating for the next couple of days.  I will be in isolation for the next few days,” Priyanka tweeted.

“Although I tested negative for Covid-19, doctors have advise me to self-isolate for being exposed to the virus. I regret the inconvenience caused,” she said.

The Congress leader also took to social media to convey her best wishes to all the candidates on behalf of who she was supposed to campaign in Lower Assam.

She also expressed hope of the Congress candidates emerging victorious in the ongoing Assam Assembly elections.

Robert contacted the virus after coming into contact with someone who had tested positive.
