Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan said Sunday he had been discharged from the hospital, three weeks after being admitted with “mild” coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) symptoms after testing positive for the disease. I will have to be in solitary quarantine in my room,” Bachchan wrote on Instagram, saying he had tested negative. Bachchan’s discharge came as Home Minister Amit Shah — Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s right-hand man — said he had tested positive for the virus. “On getting initial symptoms of coronavirus, I got myself tested and my report is positive,” Shah tweeted. “My health is fine, but on the advice of doctors I’m getting myself admitted to a hospital.”
