By A Staff Reporter, Kathmandu, Apr. 23: With the increasing number of COVID-19 cases in recent weeks, a few actors and actresses of Kollywood have also tested positive for the virus.

However, only comedian Madan Krishna Shrestha and actress Keki Adhikari have so far publicly announced that they were virus-infected. Both of them are now in home isolation. Other actors who have not tested positive have also started taking preventive measures to avoid infection.

Actress Keki Adhikari said that she was tested negative three days after she was tested positive for COVID-19. Although after receiving a negative report, she said she would stay in isolation for a few more days.

The shooting of Ghintang could not start after she tested positive a few days ago. Keki wrote on social media that she has been following all safety measures as per the doctor’s advice after she tested positive for the virus.

The actress also urged everyone to adopt high precautions and take care. Likewise, actress Karishma Manandhar is going to stay in isolation for a few days.

By posting on social media, she informed that she would stay in home isolation to keep herself safe from coronavirus. She wrote that she decided to stay in isolation after she came to know that veteran comedian Madan Krishna Shrestha and actress Keki Adhikari were infected with coronavirus positive.

“Even though I have no symptoms, I have decided to stay alone for a few days,” she said. She, however, did not disclose anything about being in contact tracing.

She also suggested everyone taking steam twice a day and urged everyone to follow safety measures. Now comedian Madan Krishnan Shrestha and his entire family members are in home isolation after they tested positive for the virus.
