Ace Indian golfer SSP Chawrasia continues to be upbeat despite having tested positive for COVID-19. The 42-year-old six-time Asian Tour winner with four wins on European Tour, is currently in home quarantine at his Kolkata residence. "I am feeling perfectly fine and don't seem to have any symptoms. There is no weakness, no fever and I am feeling active. But on doctor's advice I have quarantined myself in my house in a separate room from my wife. We are both inside the house and are not stepping out since the positive results," said Chawrasia. Chawrasia plans to have another test in a day or two to be sure, but is taking all the safety measures like quarantine. He said, "I actually went for a test on my own after taking a doctor's advice, since I was planning to go to UK for the European Tour events."
He added, "I was not feeling any discomfort. It was just a precaution before travelling as I have a lot of events coming in the UK." Speaking from his home, Chawrasia said, "I did not have symptoms. All was normal but I had to have a test because that is needed to fly out. The test turned out to be positive and I have been advised home quarantine." His wife, Simantini will also be going for a test on Tuesday. He has been prescribed multi-vitamins and will be in home quarantine for two weeks. "I have informed all those who may have been in contact with me before the tests," said Chawrasia. Through the pandemic, Chawrasia said he was most careful about stepping out and wore masks at all times when going out. "But now that I have it, I want to ensure the safety of all those in contact with me in the past few days." He was upbeat saying, "It is about two weeks and after having spent so much time at home during lockdown, this is just another step."
