Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya also visited him and enquired about his health. A team of doctors, under the guidance of Nitish Nayak, a well-known cardiologist, are attending on the former Prime Minister.

He had developed a fever three days ago and was feeling weak after which he was rushed to AIIMS. Singh had tested positive for Covid-19 in April this year during the second wave of the pandemic and had been admitted to the AIIMS.
