Lata Mangeshkar, the legendary singer, is being treated at a city hospital in Mumbai after testing positive with COVID-19, according to PTI.
Her niece Rachna verified to the news agency that the 92-year-old singer was admitted to the ICU of Breach Candy hospital in south Mumbai two days ago."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,"Rachana stated.
"She will be fine. But it is going to take a while because of her age. And also, COVID-19 takes seven days," she added.
Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar donated Rs 7 lakh to the Chief Minister's Relief Fund (CMRF) in Maharashtra in 2021 for coronavirus-related initiatives. Following this, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray expressed gratitude to the melody queen and asked citizens to contribute to the state government's relief efforts.
Mangeshkar was taken to the same hospital in November 2019 after experiencing breathing difficulties and was diagnosed with pneumonia. After 28 days, she was discharged.
