New Delhi:

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today tested negative for COVID-19, less than a week after he contracted the infection.

"I am back at your service after recovering from Corona," Mr Kejriwal posted on Twitter.

Mr Kejriwal had tested positive on Tuesday, a day after holding a political rally in Dehradun in poll-bound Uttarakhand.

A week before testing positive, the Aam Aadmi Party national convenor had actively campaigned in poll-bound states of Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Goa.

The Delhi CM then participated in a Shanti march in Patiala on December 31, days after a bomb blast occurred at a court in Ludhiana and the sacrilege attempt at the Golden Temple in Amritsar.
