As of the number of coronavirus cases in Mumbai are increasing daily, two drivers employed under Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray have been tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday. 

This comes after Shiv Sena Bhavan in Dadar has been sealed after a Shiv Sainik tested positive for the coronavirus. Thackeray’s residence is also near Shiv Sena Bhavan in Dadar’s Shivaji Park area which has also been hit badly by the coronavirus outbreak. 

The two persons working as Thackeray’s drivers who have been tested positive are undergoing treatment at a hospital in Mumbai. Earlier, two security personnel deployed outside Thackeray’s residence - Krishnakunj - were tested positive for the coronavirus. However, they recovered from COVID-19 after getting treatment. 

Meanwhile, the Shiv Sena Bhavan has been shut down from Monday as a precautionary measure and to ensure the safety of the Sena leaders and workers who visit regularly to the central office of the party. 

The routine party work held at Sena Bhavan will also be halted as the sanitisation process is ongoing. The Sena functionaries have been asked to not visit the central office as the building will remain sealed for more than a week. 

Earlier, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray visited the Shiv Sena Bhavan on the occasion of party’s 54th foundation day. Thackeray had addressed the party workers and leaders via video conferencing while some were present at the venue. 

Moreover, Dhananjay Munde, a cabinet minister in the Uddhav Thackeray government, was also discharged from the Breach Candy Hospital after recovering from COVID-19.
