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.
