Priyanka in a video message posted on Twitter said that her Thursday's report for Covid-19 is negative but on the advice of doctors, she will be under self-quaratine for the next few days.
"Recently due to exposure to coronavirus infection, I have to cancel my Assam tour. My yesterday's report has come negative but on the advice of doctors, I will be in isolation for the next few days. I apologize to all of you for this inconvenience. I pray for Congress victory," she said.
Besides Assam, Priyanka is also leading the Congress' campaign in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal.
