Still unexplained
The hunt for the origins of Covid-19 has for the past four years been a tangled web of politics, power struggles, and international finger-pointing.
A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Goa has tested positive for COVID-19, a senior state health official said, on Wednesday.
After his test came out positive, on Tuesday, the legislator was admitted to Margao-based ESI Hospital, a specially designated facility for COVID-19 patients, the official said.
“The MLA is asymptomatic. All those who came in contact with him will be tested,” Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said while talking to journalists.
