The 23-year-old became the first Indian track and field athlete to win an Olympic gold medal, becoming only the second Indian to do it after shooter Abhinav Bindra. However, a few days after returning home on Monday, he suffered a high fever and, on the recommendation of doctors, performed a coronavirus test.
“He did not test positive for COVID-19. But, for the time being, we have put all of his engagements on hold,” a source told PTI.
