FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact checked the post and found the claim to be false.
Amit Shah in a tweet dated August 2, 2020, informed that he has tested positive for COVID-19. On August 14, 2020, he informed that his COVID-19 result has come negative.
आज मेरी कोरोना टेस्ट रिपोर्ट नेगेटिव आई है।
मैं ईश्वर का धन्यवाद करता हूँ और इस समय जिन लोगों ने मेरे स्वास्थ्यलाभ के लिए शुभकामनाएं देकर मेरा और मेरे परिजनों को ढाढस बंधाया उन सभी का ह्रदय से आभार व्यक्त करता हूँ।
डॉक्टर्स की सलाह पर अभी कुछ और दिनों तक होम आइसोलेशन में रहूँगा।

However, he was taken to AIIMS on August 18 for post COVID-19 care and was released on August 31, 2020.
Moreover, when we ran a Reverse Image Search on the picture along with the keywords like ‘Amit Shah’, ‘Dwarika’, we found the same image on the official website of Amit Shah.
“Dwarika Mandir, Gujarat 24 Jan 2013, ” the picture was captioned.
Hence, from the above information, it is clear that the post in question is false.
