According to reports, 29 MLAs and ministers of Punjab had tested positive for the deadly virus this week.
Singh had earlier urged the legislators who had been in contact with the infected MLAs to not attend the one-day assembly session held on Friday.
Only those who test negative within 48 hours before the assembly session were allowed to attend the same.
