Bengaluru, August 3: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa, who was admitted to the Manipal Hospital a day earlier after testing positive for COVID-19, is "clinically stable". A health bulletin released by the medical facility on Monday confirmed that the CM's condition is fine and he is being "monitored closely" by a team of doctors.
Yediyurappa, though diagnosed with mild symptoms of coronavirus, is being closely observed due to his old age. The 77-year-old was actively leading the Karnataka government in combating COVID-19 since the outbreak of disease in March this year.
