Mumbai: BMC officials confirmed on Sunday that actor Katrina Kaif had tested Covid-19 positive on June 1 while actor Kartik Aaryan tested positive for Coronavirus on June 4.

“There was a party organised under the jurisdiction of K-West Ward on May 25. Many attended that party but it would be wrong to say that those who attended have tested positive. So far, there is no correlation between the actors testing positive for Covid-19 and the party held on May 25. We have not issued any new directives to studios. So far only Katrina Kaif (June 1) and Kartik Aaryan (June 4) have tested positive in the K-West Ward among celebrities,” said Prithviraj Chavan, Assistant Municipal Commissioner, K-West Ward.

While the BMC did not confirm that actor Shah Rukh Khan had also tested positive for Coronavirus, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee wished him a speedy recovery on Twitter. “Just came to know that our brand ambassador Shah Rukh Khan has been detected as Covid positive. Pray for the fastest recovery for the superstar. Get well Shah Rukh! Spring back asap” Banerjee said in a tweet on Sunday evening.

Meanwhile, leader of the opposition Devendra Fadnavis tested positive for Covid-19. In a tweet, Fadnavis said that he was under home isolation and advised those who came in his contact to g et themselves tested for the virus. BMC officials said that they will ask those organising any large gatherings to inform the BMC so that in case there is any Covid-19 outbreak, contact tracing and testing can be done more effectively.
