After
weeks
of
treatment,
Kanika
Kapoor
recently
tested
negative
for
Covid-19.
The
Bollywood
singer
now
expressed
her
desire
to
help
in
the
research
work
for
the
treatment
and
development
of
a
vaccine
to
prevent
Coronavirus.
On
Monday,
Kanika
revealed
that
she
wants
to
donate
her
blood
and
plasma
for
the
same.
Kapoor
reportedly
called
up
Lucknow's
King
George's
Medical
University
(KGMU)
hospital
and
has
already
given
her
blood
sample,
and
the
procedure
is
currently
in
process.
"This
morning
I
called
the
hospital
to
tell
them
that
I
want
to
give
my
blood
and
plasma
for
research
or
helping
others
if
possible.
I
want
to
do
what
I
can
to
help,"
she
said.
According
to
WHO,
the
Coronavirus
affects
the
immune
system
of
patients,
and
the
vaccine
will
help
create
antibodies,
to
attack
the
virus.
Over
time,
these
build
up
antibodies,
found
in
the
liquid
proton
of
the
blood,
which
can
be
transfused
to
new
patients
to
help
them
produce
their
own
antibodies
and
fight
against
the
virus.
Earlier,
Hollywood
stars
Tom
Hanks
and
Rita
Wilson
also
offered
to
donate
their
blood
and
plasma
to
help
find
a
cure.
On
a
related
note,
an
FIR
had
been
registered
by
the
Lucknow
police,
against
the
singer
for
negligence
and
committing
acts
likely
to
spread
a
disease
dangerous
to
life.
On
Monday
a
notice
was
served,
asking
her
to
report
to
Sarojini
Nagar
Police
Station,
Lucknow
on
April
30
and
record
her
statement.
Kanika
was
also
slammed
online
by
many,
for
attending
social
events
after
returning
from
the
United
Kingdom
in
March.
Kanika's
sixth
Coronavirus
test
had
come
out
negative
on
April
6,
after
which
she
was
discharged
from
the
hospital.
She
later
issued
a
statement
claiming
that
there
was
a
lot
of
misinformation
about
her,
and
after
returning,
she
was
in
good
health.
