The national capital is in the grip of COVID-19 and so is the rest of the country and the world. In the latest COVID-19 outbreak, as many as 50 staff members tested positive for the virus at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) headquarters in Delhi on Wednesday.

All are in isolation and are adhering to COVID-19 protocols," ANI reported.
As per media reports, sanitisation has been carried out at the BJP office and COVID-19 tests are being conducted on a regular basis. Only people engaged in important activities related to the office are coming to the headquarters, reported the new agency.
Earlier, BJP President Jagat Prakash Nadda informed on Monday that he had tested positive for the virus. On Tuesday, a meeting of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Core Committee on the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls was held at the party office. The second round of the meeting will be held today.
