(Riya Saha, Intern Journalist)RANCHI: Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and his family members swab samples were collected for Covid-19 tests, the second time in a month, after several employees at his office were found to have contracted the virus, an official said. Other staff members at the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) have also given their samples for examination, he said.
Abhishek Prasad, the chief minister’s press adviser, informed that 17 officials at the CMO were diagnosed with the disease on August 2.
Soren, his wife, and other family members had undergone the test for the first time on July 11, in which they were diagnosed negative.
The CM had quarantined himself at his Ranchi residence last month after contact tracing of a cabinet minister and an MLA led to Soren.
