There was a mild deterioration in the health condition of veteran writer Channaveer Kanavi, who was admitted to SDM hospital in Hubballi following COVID-19 complications. Doctors increased his antibiotic intake following a rise in his procalcitonin levels.

Oxygen intake for the 93-year-old writer was increased. He is on non-re-breather mask support with 8 litres of oxygen per minute. Other treatment is in progress as per the standard protocol, according to the hospital.
