Actor Sanjay Dutt admitted in ICU due to breathing issues

Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt was admitted in Lilavati hospital on Saturday evening after suffering from chest discomfort. Doctors treating him said he has been admitted in an intensive care unit but remains stable. Dutt, 61, celebrated his birthday last week on July 29. On Saturday, he suffered from low oxygen saturation levels and chest discomfort. He was taken to Lilavati hospital where a rapid antigen test for Covid-19 came negative.

Since the test has low specificity, meaning it has chances of missing a positive case, a swab has also been collected for confirmatory RT-PCR test. The actor may well be discharged from the hospital tomorrow if the doctors reviewing his condition feel that he is stable. Dutt is currently in Mumbai alone. His wife and two kids are currently stuck abroad owing to the lockdown.
