Legendary singer SP Balasubrahmanyam, who is currently receiving treatment for coronavirus, is stable, but continues to be on ventilator, Chennai’s MGM Healthcare said in a statement on Friday.

The statement reads, “Thiru S P Balasubrahmanyam who had been admitted at MGM Healthcare due to COVID-19 continues to be on Ventilator and ECMO support in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). His condition currently is stable. Our multi-disciplinary team of medical experts is keeping a very close watch on the vital parameters and has been constantly updating Thiru S P Balasubrahmanyam’s family regarding his clinical status and progress.”

In his latest video statement, SP Charan broke down while thanking the fans and celebrities for coming together for the mass prayer today (August 21th). SP Charan said, "The hospital has mentioned the stable today. He was critical yesterday. Until yesterday, he was listed by the doctors and the medical team as critical. Today's press release from the hospital says he is stable. They did not use the word critical. But that doesn't mean he is completely recovered. What it means is that there are no complications and his vitals are working just fine. As I keep saying, we have complete faith and confidence in the medical team and in the prayers that are coming out way. We are very very glad and happy today that he is been listed as stable. I again thank each and every one of you for the prayers, the love and the concern that has been showered upon him and his family. Keep the prayers coming. There is a long road to recovery but a sure road to recovery. Thank you all and God bless you all."
