I request all those who have come in close contact with me to get themselves tested.
I will continue to work from home to serve the people of my state. 🙏🏻
While talking to Mumbai Live, Aslam Shaikh said, "I am currently at home and have no symptoms. I will be taking care of all my responsibilities from my home for now. People who have been working with me will also have to undergo Corona tests. Since I had been on the field so I had got myself tested as a precautionary measure and it turned out to be positive. But I feel completely healthy".
