Former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Shanta Kumar and his family members, who had been admitted to the Fortis Hospital in Mohali for treatment for Covid-19, are likely to be discharged on Thursday evening.

A spokesman for the hospital said Shanta Kumar and his family members were doing fine and could be discharged on Thursday evening or Friday morning. He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had been calling regularly to enquire after his health.
