GUNTUR: YSR Congress Party MLA from Sattenapalli Ambati Rambabu has tested positive for coronavirus, prompting him to go into home isolation. Revealing this piece of news about his health through a selfie video, Rambabu said that he tested positive for COVID-19. He asserted that he is brave enough to face it while asking all his friends, well-wishers and partymen not to worry about this development.

“I have tested positive. On knowing this, many people are calling me up. Since I’m under isolation, I’m unable to answer their phone calls. I’m trying to get myself treated in a hospital. I’m very brave to deal with it. No one needs to panic over this. My test report was confirmed only this morning. I’ll soon recover from this to come out to see you,” Rambabu said in the selfie video.

ఈ రోజు వచ్చిన కోవిడ్ ఫలితాల్లో నాకు పాజిటివ్ గా నిర్ధారణ అయింది

చాలా ధైర్యం గా వున్నాను, నా యోగ క్షేమాలు తెల్సుకోవడానికి నాకు చాలా మంది కాంటాక్ట్ చేస్తున్నారు, అందరికి ధన్యవాదాలు,

త్వరలోనే పూర్తిగా కోలుకుని మరలా ఎప్పటిలానే ప్రజల్లోకి వస్తాను. pic.twitter.com/u12NxudPNT
