Singer Kanika Kapoor tests POSITIVE for COVID-19 for the Fifth time

Singer Kanika Kapoor tested positive for the corona virus after her trip to London. But she just didn’t test positive for the first, it was the fifth time in 10 days, reported a leading news portal, that she tested positive for the virus which has been declared a pandemic.

The news channel flashed the details of the singer’s diagnosis and revealed that even though the doctors say she’s stable, she’s yet to recover from COVID-19. One of the sources even reported that she is not responding to the treatment as well. Kanika is currently admitted at the Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGI) in Lucknow where she has been kept at the self-isolation ward, meant for the coronavirus patients, for over past 10 days.

Last week, when she was tested positive fourth time, her family members reportedly expressed concern about her treatment wondering if she’s even responding to the medicines given. Rumours were also rife that Kanika is being given intensive care (ICU) as her health is deteriorating. However, in an Instagram post made on Monday, she refuted all the rumours and mentioned that she’s stable and is positive about being tested negative the next time.

In his statement to news agency ANI this morning, Dr RK Dhiman, the director of SGPGI said Kanika is being taken care of. He said the popular playback singer is taking her food, responding to the treatment and one should not believe any rumours.

As per the protocol, even if Kanika is tested negative next time in the diagnosis, she will be kept in the self-isolation ward for next 14 days and more tests will be conducted to ensure that the coronavirus symptoms have not returned or are not returning. The sixth test is expected to be conducted by the end of this week.
