I Was Surprised to Test Positive for Covid-19, Shocked by Social Media Abuse: N Sikki Reddy

News 18  

Indian shuttler N Sikki Reddy on Saturday heaved a sigh of relief after returning negative for Covid-19 barely two days after testing positive for the contagious disease, saying she was "shocked" by the not-so-kind reactions her initial result attracted. Commonwealth Games bronze-medallist Sikki and physiotherapist Kiran Challagundla had, on Thursday, tested positive for the virus in SAI's mandatory Covid tests at the SAI Pullela Gopichand academy, which was immediately closed down for sanitisation and the camp suspended for a few days. "It was little irritating because I didn't show any symptoms," said Sikki, who had won the Commonwealth Games bronze medal in 2018 along with her women's doubles partner Ashwini Ponnappa. Sikki, who partners Ashwini in women's doubles, Sindhu, B Sai Praneeth and former world number one Kidambi Srikanth had been training at the academy before the suspension of the camp.
