Haryana’s Home and Health Minister Anil Vij was on Sunday admitted to a hospital in Chandigarh as his oxygen levels dipped. The 68-year-old BJP leader earlier could not attend the Assembly’s monsoon session on health grounds.
He was admitted to the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) on Sunday evening, hospital sources said. The sources said that Vij is under the supervision of doctors led by a pulmonary and respiratory medicine specialist.
Vij had last week gone to Rohtak to attend the cremation of Chief Minister Manohar Lal’s younger brother. He had returned with the chief minister in a chopper and due to high altitude, his oxygen levels had dipped and have been fluctuating since, sources said.
Vij had tested positive for coronavirus last year on 5 December after taking a trial dose of Bharat Biotech’s Covid-19 vaccine Covaxin. He had offered to be the first volunteer for the third phase trial of Covaxin, which started in the state.
