Popular
Indian
playback
singer
SP
Balasubrahmanyam
aka
SPB
has
tested
positive
for
COVID-19.
The
74-year-old
singer
is
admitted
in
the
MGM
Healthcare
Hospital
in
Chennai.
He
confirmed
the
same
on
Wednesday
morning
through
a
video
uploaded
on
his
official
Facebook
handle.
In
the
Facebook
live
video,
SP
Balasubrahmanyam
revealed
that
he
is
recovering
and
will
be
discharged
in
two
days.
He
also
stated
that
he
had
only
cold,
but
over
the
last
three
days,
he
had
chest
congestion
and
fever.
SP
Balasubrahmanyam
said,
"In
last
two
to
three
days,
I
have
been
having
a
little
discomfort.
Discomfort
means
little
congestion,
which
for
a
singer
is
nonsense.
Phlegm
forming
and
then
cold
and
fever
on
and
off
fever.
These
three
things,
otherwise
no
problem.
But
I
didn't
want
to
take
it
easy,
so
I
went
to
the
hospital
and
checked.
So
they
said
it
was
just
a
mild,
mild,
mild,
very
mild
positive
of
the
corona.
They
said
you
can
stay
home
and
self-quarantine
yourself
and
take
these
medications,
so
you'll
be
alright.
But,
I
didn't
want
to
do
that.
It's
very
tough
in
the
place
with
all
the
family.
They
are
very
concerned,
they
can't
leave
you
alone.
So,
I
got
admitted
to
the
hospital."
The
singer
also
asked
people
to
avoid
calling
him
as
he
is
required
to
take
rest.
SP
Balasubrahmanyam
requested,
"All
my
friends
are
here,
they
are
taking
good
care
of
me.
I
am
in
good
hands
and
I
have
good
health.
Nobody
has
to
worry
about
this
one.
So
please,
don't
bother
to
call
me
to
find
out
how
I
am.
I'm
perfectly
alright
except
the
cold
and
fever.
Fever
has
also
subsided.
In
the
next
two
days,
I
will
be
discharged
and
I
will
be
home.
Thanks
for
the
concern.
A
lot
of
people
have
been
calling
me.
I
couldn't
attend
all
the
calls.
I
have
come
here
mostly
to
take
rest
so
there
won't
be
any
disturbance
to
me
and
to
take
medication.
Don't
bother
calling
me.
I
am
fine,
I
will
be
fine."
