Shah had tested positive for coronavirus on 2 August and was admitted to the Medanta Hospital in Gurugram.

“After having symptoms of coronavirus, I got myself tested and my report is



positive. I am feeling well, but on the advice of doctors, I am getting admitted to the hospital," Shah tweeted.
