SP Balasubramanyam tests negative for coronavirus, still on ventilator

SP Charan, son of Balasubramanyam said that his father reports came negative in the tests conducted on Sunday and is recovering. He also thanked all for the prayers and support from the fans and celebrities. "His condition is stable now and will keep u posted with updates," he said.

SPB was connected to life support systems including a ventilator and ECMO, a heart-lung assistance machine after his health condition deteriorated. A 12-member expert team is closely monitoring the singer's health.

However, SP Charan released a video soon later requesting the people to refrain from rumour-mongering. He said that regardless of his father testing positive or negative, the singer is still on life support and is stable.

"I will put up a post today evening on my father's health update after I discuss with the medical team," SP Charan said.
