After legendary athlete Milkha Singh, his wife Nirmal Milkha Singh also tested positive for Covid-19 on Wednesday. 

“Milkha Singh continues to be stable on oxygen support. However, he is weak and we are trying to persuade him to increase his food intake. Today we have stepped him down from the ICU to a room which he is sharing with his wife Nirmal Milkha Singh who was admitted earlier in the day with Covid pneumonia.  Both are being closely monitored,” the hospital said in a statement.
