Kanika Kapoor tests coronavirus positive for third time

Bollywood
singer Kanika Kapoor has for a third time tested positive for the novel
coronavirus. She is currently undergoing treatment at the Sanjay Gandhi Post
Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences in Lucknow. According to reports, she
will continue to receive treatment for the disease.

Kanika’s
friend, Mumbai-based entrepreneur Ojas Desai who was with the singer at a
party, and was traced only the other day, has tested negative.

In a
statement released on Instagram last week, Kanika had confirmed testing
positive: “For the past 4 days I have had signs of flu, I got myself tested and
it came positive for Covid-19. My family and I are in complete quarantine now
and following medical advice on how to move forward.”

Kanika had returned from her stay in the UK, and faced massive criticism for allegedly hiding her travel history. After returning from London, she hosted a lavish party which saw the attendance of many people, including political leaders.

The singer triggered a massive coronavirus scare among parliamentarians and other prominent figures who had interacted with the singer during these parties before she tested positive. All of them have tested negative for the coronavirus now, sources reported.

An FIR was
filed against Kanika for negligence and disobedience of the order issued by a
public servant and of committing a negligent act likely to spread infection of
disease dangerous to life.
