Still unexplained
The hunt for the origins of Covid-19 has for the past four years been a tangled web of politics, power struggles, and international finger-pointing.
Former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh has been admitted to All India Institute Of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, after testing positive for Covid-19 on Monday, sources said. Singh was admitted to the AIIMS’ Trauma Centre around 5 pm after the complaint of fever.
The hospital’s sources said that the veteran Congress leader has been said to be in stable condition now.
The hospital said that Singh has been vaccinated against the Covid -19 and was shifted to the hospital “a matter of precaution” due to his age.
