Panaji, Aug 21 (IANS): Former Goa Chief Minister and Congress MLA Ravi Naik on Friday tested positive for Covid-19, an official said.

Naik is the second former Chief Minister and the fifth state legislator to test positive for coronavirus.

Another BJP MLA, Clafasio Dias, who was the first MLA to test positive for Covid-19 last month, was hospitalised for more than two weeks, before he tested negative and was subsequently discharged on August 9.

Union Minister of State for AYUSH and Defence Shripad Naik is currently admitted to a private hospital, after he was found Covid positive earlier this week. His condition is said to be stable now, according to Health Minister Vishwajit Rane.
