BCCI president and former India skipper Sourav Ganguly continues to remain “stable” after being tested COVID-19 positive three days ago, the hospital where he is undergoing treatment said on Thursday. Ganguly was rushed to a city hospital on Monday night as a precautionary measure after his RT-PCR test returned positive for COVID-19.
“On the third day of admission, Sourav Gangly, BCCI President and former Indian cricket captain, remains haemodynamically stable, afebrile and maintaining oxygen saturation of 99% on room air.
“He slept well last night and has had breakfast and lunch,” Dr Rupali Basu, MD and CEO of Woodlands Hospital said in a statement.
The 49-year-old had received “Monoclonal Antibody Cocktail therapy” on Monday night.
“The medical board is keeping a close watch on his health status,” the statement added.
