Both Batra and his wife are asymptomatic.

"Chetna & I Have Tested Positive for Covid Today on 16th January in Asymptomatic Category," the top IOA official said in a WhatsApp message.

"All our Family, Friends and Colleagues who Came in Contact With us Since 14th January are Requested to Please Have Themselves Examined.

"We Have Been asked to Stay in Quarantine Till Saturday 22nd January. We are Available on Phone," Batra added.
