She had announced her Covid-19 diagnosis on Instagram but had later deleted the post. 

Meanwhile, one of her family members who did not wish to be named, told IANS, “We are now worried over the test reports. It seems that Kanika is not responding to treatment and in this lockdown, we cannot even airlift her for advanced treatment. We can only pray for her recovery.” Doctors at the Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS), however, said that the singer’s condition was stable. 

Kanika, who was hospitalized on March 20, returned from London on March 9 and then traveled to Kanpur and Lucknow. 

After she tested positive, she was slammed by the media for attending parties and allegedly spreading the virus though none of those who came into contact with her tested positive. Earlier, Lucknow police booked Kanika on charges of negligence for attending various social events in the city despite being infected with coronavirus and having been instructed by the authorities to isolate herself at her home 

Kanika, who is presently admitted to the Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS), was also criticized by the hospital administration for her ‘starry behavior’.
