AIIMS issued a statement saying he has been complaining of fatigue and body ache for the last three to four days and was admitted to the post-Covid-19 Care Centre. "He is comfortable and is continuing his work from the hospital," the statement said.

Shah, who tested positive for Covid-19 on August 2 and was admitted to Medanta Hospital in Haryana's Gurugram, had on August 14 announced on Twitter that he had recovered from the virus infection and the fresh tests had confirmed he was Covid-19 negative.

He also had said that he would be staying in home isolation for "a few more days" on the advice of doctors.

Shah had missed the Ram Temple 'bhumi pujan' function in Ayodhya on August 5 and the Independence Day celebrations at Red Fort where Prime Minister Narendra Modi unfurled the national flag and addressed the nation.

Soon after the news of Shah's hospitalisation on Tuesday, several leaders wished him a speedy recovery.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan tweeted, "I pray that you (Shah) soon be fully healthy and get ready to serve the country again with old energy. My best wishes to you and the country."
