JAKARTA - Indian State Health Minister Haryana Anil Vij, who last month was given a trial dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, tested positive for the corona virus on Saturday, December 5.
Vij, who oversees a number of ministries including health, gave positive self-news via Twitter. He also asked people who had contact with him recently to undergo a COVID-19 test.
"I have tested positive for COVID-19. I am being treated at the Ambala civil hospital. Anyone who comes in contact with me is asked to undergo a COVID-19 test," Vij said.
In November, the 67-year-old man was given a trial dose of the COVID-19 vaccine as part of a phase three clinical trial of Bharat Biotech's Covaxin vaccine.
Vij previously announced he would be the first volunteer in his state to be vaccinated.
So far, Haryana State has reported 240,841 cases of COVID-19 and 2,539 deaths.

India is in the grip of COVID-19 and is also the second-worst country in the world to experience a coronavirus outbreak.
