confirmed today that she has tested positive for COVID-19. The popular singer is the first Bollywood celebrity to have been infected with the novel Coronavirus. Reports suggest that the ‘Baby Doll’ singer had hid her travel details upon returning from London and had partied at a hotel with nearly 100 people. Several social media users slammed Kanika for risking other people’s lives and tagged her as ‘irresponsible’.
In her statement, Kanika had revealed, “For the past 4 days I have had signs of flu, I got myself tested and it came positive for Covid-19. My family and I are in complete quarantine now and following medical advice on how to move forward. Contact mapping of people I have been in touch with is underway aswell.”
I appeal to Shri @myogiadityanath ji to arrest #KanikaKapoor upon her recovery and initiate stringent legal action u/s 3 of Epidemic Act, 1897. Unless a strong example is set, this bio-terrorism will destroy our fight against #coronavirus https://t.co/WncFIrHfsn
