The “treatment plan, including appropriate antibiotics, respiratory support and other allied clinical measures are presently being continued to treat the infection,” the hospital said in a release.

The Chief Minister was “responding adequately” to the comprehensive treatment being given to her, and a team of doctors was collectively monitoring the treatment.

She “has been advised further stay in the hospital for treatment,” the release from the hospital’s chief operating officer, Subbiah Viswanathan, said.

Another release said the hospital was completely functional, and all facilities were available.
