NEW DELHI | AUG 14, 2020:
Former President of India, Pranab Mukherjee, who was recently tested positive for COVID-19, continues to remain on ventilator support.
He was admitted to the Indian Army's Research and Referral Hospital in New Delhi, where he underwent brain surgery on Monday and was later diagnosed with the coronavirus on Monday.
According to media reports, there has been a slight 'improvement in his eyes' reaction to light, his daughter Sharmistha Mukherjee said on Friday.
However, he is under intensive care and continues to be on ventilatory support. His vital parameters are presently stable, stated a statement from the facility.
Sharmistha Mukherjee tweeted;
Without getting into medical jargons, whatever I could understand from last two days is that though my dads' condition continues remain very critical, it hasn't worsened. There's little improvement in his eyes' reaction to light.
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय
