Recently, South Indian actor Suraj Venjaramoodu mentioned that he has isolated himself after his 'Jana Gana Mana' co-star Prithviraj tested COVID positive.
Days after South Indian actor Prithviraj Sukumaran tested positive for the novel Coronavirus, actor Suraj Venjaramoodu took to his Facebook handle to announce that he has now gone into self-quarantine. In his note, Suraj Venjaramoodu requested those who came in contact with him on the sets of Jana Gana Mana to quarantine themselves. The actor posted the note in Malayalam, which roughly translates to:
Dear ones, you all know that Prithviraj and director Dijo Jose Antony tested COVID positive during the shooting of Jana Gana Mana. I quarantine myself because I was part of that film and came in contact with them during the shooting. Therefore, those who have been in contact with me on Janaganamana sets in the last few days are advised to go to the Compulsory Quarantine and those who have any symptoms should be tested as soon as possible.
Your own.
