Hours after an in-person meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and UK Home Secretary Priti Patel in London, External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar confirmed a UK media report that two members of his delegation had isolated themselves after testing positive for Covid.
The minister and the delegation members were tested in India on Sunday and found Covid negative, said sources, who could not confirm whether they were tested on landing in London.
“There is concern the EAM might have been exposed to the virus. We will go by the British health authorities’ tracking and testing system. We are concerned about our delegation. We are happy all are fine,’’ sources said.
