Actor Dulquer Salmaan on Thursday said that he has tested positive for coronavirus with mild symptoms. The 35-year-old actor’s diagnosis comes days after his superstar father Mammootty also tested positive for COVID-19. Salman posted a brief statement on his official social media handle to share the news and said that he has started isolating at his residence.
“I’ve just tested positive for Covid19. I’m isolated at home and have mild flu symptoms but (I’m) otherwise fine. People who were in close contact with me during the shoot in the last few days, Please isolate and test if you notice symptoms,” the “Kurup” star wrote.
The release of Dulquer’s upcoming film Salute has also been postponed due to the sharp rise in coronavirus cases across the country. The actor informed fans about this by sharing a post on Instagram. He has films including Hey Sinamika, Chup: Revenge of the Artist, Yuddham Tho Rasina Prema Katha Films among others.
Meanwhile, Mammootty shared the news of his COVID-19 diagnosis on January 16, saying that he contracted the virus despite taking precautions. The 70-year-old star was reportedly shooting for his upcoming film “CBI 5” when he tested positive.
Sharing his health update on social media, he wrote, “Despite taking all necessary precautions, I got tested for Kovid yesterday. I am fine apart from mild fever. I am in self-isolation at home as per the instructions of the concerned officials. I wish you all to be safe. Wear a mask all the time and take care of yourself.”
