On August 5, SP Balasubrahmanyam was admitted to the hospital after he developed some mild symptoms of COVID-19. He tested positive for the novel coronavirus and got himself admitted at MGM Healthcare in Chennai. Last week, his health deteriorated and he was shifted to ICU.
On Sunday, his son Charan said, “Dad was shifted from the 3rd floor ICU to an exclusive ICU on the 6th floor. The pleasant news is there is some mobility. He is moving around a little bit and signed thumbs up to the doctors and is able to recognize them. He is still on life support, he is breathing a little more comfortably than a few days back. Doctors see it as a very good sign that he is on a road towards getting better. There is a lot of effort from the medical team and he will take a long time for recovery. But, we are all hopeful.”
