Bharati also said that she will get re-tested after four days.

"Informing you that urged the administration and called a team for COVID-19  testing on the last day of the end of my journey because I had a mild fever for 3 days," she wrote on Twitter in Hindi.

४) मेरे इस ट्वीट को जो भी मेरे संपर्क में आये हुए भाई- बहन पढ़े या उन्हें जानकारी हो जाये उन सबसे मेरी अपील है की वो अपनी कोरोना टेस्ट करवाये एवं सावधानी बरते ।
