New Delhi (NVI): Veteran singer SP Balasubrahmanyam, who lent his voice to movies in the south, confirmed that he has tested positive for coronavirus after showing mild symptoms.

Balasubrahmanyam posted a video on his official Facebook page and stated that he had chest congestion for a few days, along with cold and fever.

Later, he was tested for the novel coronavirus and found positive and chose to stay in the hospital for a quick recovery.

He added that he could have stayed home in self-quarantine, but he didn’t want to put his family in danger, so he got admitted in order to recover quickly.

“I am in good hands. And I have good health. Nobody has to worry about this. Please don’t bother to call me to find out how I am. I’m perfectly alright excepting cold and fever. Even the fever has subsided. In two days, I will be discharged and I will be home. Thanks for the concern. Lots of people are calling me. I could not attend so many calls,” the singer said.

Last weekend, Tamil Nadu Governor Banwarilal Purohit had tested positive for Covid-19. The health bulletin earlier today said the governor continues to be asymptomatic and active.

Tamil Nadu recorded 5,609 fresh cases in the last 24 hours, taking the overall tally to 2,63,222 while the death toll stands at 4,349 in the state.
