    “After having high fever and cough, I went for a test and I was Covid positive. I have mild symptoms and I am in home isolation,” said 39-year-old Dr Aqsa, who has taken both doses of the Covid vaccine.

    “I am Covid Positive. I met Swara Bhaskar in my dream last night. And now read that she is also Covid Positive. Does Covid spread through dreams? Grinning face with smiling eyes. Get well soon dear,” she tweeted a day ago.

    She is currently Associate Professor in the Department of Community Medicine at Hamdard Institute of Medical Sciences & Research, Jamia Hamdard.

    In the last few days Delhi has seen Covid surge with many people testing positive, including Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Delhi is likely to record 20,000 Covid-19 cases today and the positivity rate is to be around 19 per cent, Health Minister Satyendar Jain said.
