Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly who had been admitted into the hospital after testing positive for Covid-19, continues to be stable and is currently undergoing treatment. 

 

“On the second 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 & CEO of Woodlands Hospital, said in a statement.

 

Ganguly was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure after his RT-PCR test returned positive. Earlier this year, the former Indian skipper had undergone angioplasty after suffering from cardiac issues. 

 

“The medical board is keeping a close watch on his health status,” the statement further read.

 

Ganguly had been double vaccinated but contracted the virus as he was travelling a lot in recent times.

 

Earlier this year, his elder brother Snehasish had also tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
