Two weeks after former President Pranab Mukherjee tested positive for COVID-19, he continued to remain in a deep coma, but his vital parameters were stable, the hospital said on Saturday (August 22).
According to doctors who are attending to 84-year-old Mukherjee, he is being treated for respiratory infection and continues to be on ventilatory support. “The condition of Shri Pranab Mukherjee remains unchanged this morning. He is deeply comatose and is being treated for respiratory infection,” they said.
