Bollywood
singer
Kanika
Kapoor,
after
testing
negative
for
Coronavirus,
had
expressed
her
desire
to
help
develop
a
treatment
for
the
virus,
by
donating
her
blood
and
plasma.
According
to
an
update
on
the
same,
the
singer
will
have
to
wait
a
bit
longer
to
donate
plasma
as
she
has
low
haemoglobin.
A
senior
official
of
King
George's
Medical
University,
Vice-Chancellor,
Prof
MLB
Bhatt,
told
PTI
on
Tuesday
that,
Kanika's
blood
sample
was
examined
and
"almost
all
parameters
pertaining
to
plasma
donation
were
found
to
be
appropriate.
However,
the
haemoglobin
quantity
was
found
less
than
the
standard.
Hence,
she
has
to
wait
for
a
few
days
for
plasma
donation."
Kanika
reportedly
gave
her
blood
sample
on
Monday
for
testing
at
the
KGMU.
The
Head
of
Department
of
Transfusion
Medicine
at
KGMU,
Dr
Tulika
Chandra
also
suggested
the
same
and
said,
"The
blood
sample
of
Kanika
Kapoor
was
examined
for
the
purpose
of
plasma
donation,
and
it
was
found
positive.
But
she
has
to
wait
for
some
time."
Kanika
Kapoor
first
tested
positive
for
COVID-19,
on
March
20.
She
since
has
recovered
and
is
currently
residing
with
her
parents
in
Lucknow.
Last
month,
after
returning
from
the
UK,
Kanika
was
bashed
online
for
not
following
the
self-quarantine
protocol
and
attending
parties.
However,
she
issued
a
statement
recently
saying
there
was
a
lot
of
misinformation
in
the
news
about
her.
Take
a
look:
Kapoor
was
served
a
notice
by
the
Lucknow
police
department,
on
Monday,
to
appear
on
April
30
to
record
her
statement.
The
UP
police
have
filed
an
FIR
against
the
singer
for
disobedience
and
negligence,
under
IPC
sections
269
(negligent
act
likely
to
spread
infection
of
disease
dangerous
to
