Actor Arun Vijay on Wednesday tested positive for COVID-19. The actor took to his social media accounts and made the announcement.
He wrote: “This is to inform you that I have tested positive for” COVID-19. I am currently in home quarantine following all safety protocols advised by my doctor. Thanks for all the love.. Stay safe and take care of everyone (sic),” he tweeted.
Arun is among the growing list of celebrities who have recently contracted the virus. Previously, comedy icon Vadivelu had tested positive for Covid-19 after returning to Chennai from London, after attending pre-production work on his upcoming film Naai Sekar Returns. After returning home, he tested positive for the virus and was admitted to a private hospital in Chennai.
Prior to this, Kamal Haasan had also tested positive for coronavirus after returning from an American trip. Both Kamal and Vadivelu have fully recovered. Recently, Telugu actor Manoj Manchu had also tested positive for the virus.
There is a strong spike in the number of covid cases in the country. Due to fears of the outbreak of the third wave of the virus, state governments have already announced several measures to contain the spread. On Wednesday, the government of Tamil Nadu announced a slew of restrictions, including a curfew and complete lockdown on Sunday. The cinemas are allowed to operate at 50 percent of their capacity.
On the work front, Arun Vijay will be seen next time with Yaanai and Boxer.
