BJP Bihar unit President Dr Sanjay Jaiswal has tested positive for coronavirus, apart from his wife and mother, a family member said on Wednesday.

He said that test reports of other family members were negative.

According to the sources, Sanjay had complained of cough and mild fever. He had visited Patna to attend the party's regional meeting last week.

Earlier, five other party office-bearers in Bihar had tested corona positive.
