Mumbai: Union minister Ramdas Athawale, whose 'go corona, go' chant became a national sensation, tested positive for Coronavirus on Tuesday and has been admitted to a hospital in Mumbai.

Twitter was quick to recall his ‘Go Corona Go’ chant, and soon it was among trending topics on Twitter India.

In February, a video of Athawale, also with a Chinese diplomat and Buddhist monks chanting "Go corona, go corona" at a prayer meeting went viral on social media.

The video was reportedly shot at the Gateway of India here on February 20 during a prayer session to stop the spread of coronavirus in China.

Athawale (60) is a member of the Rajya Sabha and minister of state for social justice in the Narendra Modi-led ministry. The minister is also a diabetic, an aide said.

Users took a dig at the famous "Go Corona Go' slogan coined by Athwale while they also hoped that he recovers soon from the virus.

The incident was reported from Mohra village in the Kotranka subdivision, where members of two families consumed a wild vegetable following which they started showing symptoms of food poisoning on Friday evening, they said.
