"This evening I tested positive for COVID-19. While I am having symptoms (cough and fever), I'm grateful to be fully vaccinated, which is protecting me from more severe illness. I am under home quarantine and request everyone who have recently come in my contact to get tested," Veerappa Moily said in a tweet.
