Actor Kamal Haasan tests positive for Covid-19, hospitalised

Actor and Makkal Needhi Maiam president Kamal Haasan has tested positive for Covid-19. He has been admitted to a Chennai hospital.

“I had mild cough following my return from the USA. When I tested, the coronavirus infection was confirmed. I have isolated myself in hospital. Everyone should be on guard realising that the Covid-19 spread has not faded,” Haasan said in a social media Twitter.

அமெரிக்கப் பயணம் முடிந்து திரும்பிய பின் லேசான இருமல் இருந்தது. பரிசோதனை செய்ததில் கோவிட் தொற்று உறுதியானது. மருத்துவமனையில் தனிமைப்படுத்திக் கொண்டுள்ளேன். இன்னமும் நோய்ப்பரவல் நீங்கவில்லையென்பதை உணர்ந்து அனைவரும் பாதுகாப்பாக இருங்கள்.

During his visit, Haasan had on November 15 held discussions at Chicago with his North America-based supporters who apprised him on their initiatives so far and future plans.

The 67-year old actor-politician, who celebrated his birthday on November 7, continues to be involved in film making and television shows as well.
