"Congress President Sonia Gandhi tested positive for Covid-19 today. She will remain in isolation as per government protocol," Jairam Ramesh, a former federal minister, wrote.

In June this year too, Gandhi tested positive for coronavirus and was admitted to a hospital for treatment.

Gandhi's son Rahul and daughter Priyanka had earlier tested positive for Covid-19.

Gandhi's health has been a subject of rumours in the Indian media. More than a decade ago, she underwent a surgery at a hospital in the US for an undisclosed medical condition.
