Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma has been admitted to the Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute (SGPGI) of Medical Sciences, nearly a week after he tested positive for the coronavirus.
Sharma was admitted to the hospital Tuesday late evening while his wife, who had also tested positive was hospitalized earlier.
Sharma informed about his hospitalization in a tweet.
“A few days ago, I tested positive for COVID-19. After consultation with doctors, I was in home isolation. For better treatment, I have been hospitalized,” he tweeted in Hindi.
विगत दिनों मेरी कोरोना रिपोर्ट पॉजिटिव होने के उपरांत डॉक्टरों की निगरानी में घर पर ही आइसोलेट था, बेहतर चिकित्सकीय आवश्यकताओं हेतु मुझे अस्पताल में भर्ती होना पड़ रहा है।
