Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani was at a meeting in which the MLA was also present.

Ashwini Kumar, Secretary to Gujarat CM, said that Rupani was seated about 15-20 feet from the MLA and further decision will be taken after taking directions from medical experts.

"In today's meeting with Congress MLAs, the MLA who was tested positive was also present. Chief Minister Vijay Rupani was seated at a distance of 15-20 feet from him and avoided physical contact.
