Mumbai : Legendary singer, Bharatratna awardee, Lata Mangeshkar will be under constant medical observation for the next 10-12 days as she has been diagnosed not only with COVID-19 but also got pneumonia.

Dr Pratit Samdani, who is treating Lata Mangeshkar at Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital, said, “She has both COVID-19 and pneumonia. Due to old age, it will take time to recover properly.”

The singer had been hospitalised in 2019 as well for a serious lung ailment and pneumonia.
