Meghalaya chief minister Conrad Sangma, who visited Manipur and Delhi last week, tested negative for coronavirus infection, officials said on Sunday.
The chief minister has been under house quarantine for the past four days after returning from Delhi where he took the disgruntled Imphal of the National People’s Party (NPP) from Manipur to meet with Interior Minister Amit Shah.
The first test was conducted on Mr. Sangma, who is also president of the NPP, on June 22 and the second Sunday, said a CMO official.
