Sharing her health update, associate professor Dr Pratit Samdani from the Breach Candy Hospital told PTI, “She continues to be under observation in the ICU”.
On Tuesday, Mangeshkar’s niece Rachna Shah told PTI that the veteran was admitted to the ICU as she requires “constant care”.
“She is mild Covid positive. Considering her age, doctors advised us that she should be in the ICU because she requires constant care. And we cannot take a chance. As a family we want the best and want to ensure she has 24X7 care.”
Mangeshkar’s niece added that the singer “will be fine”, but will take time for full recovery from Covid-19, considering her age. In November 2019, Mangeshkar was admitted to the same hospital after she complained of difficulty in breathing and was diagnosed with pneumonia. She was discharged after 28 days.
