The Minister had tested positive for COVID-19 after he underwent second round of test, a day after he was admitted to RGSSH due to high-grade fever. On Thursday, the doctors at the RGSSH said he had been diagnosed pneumonia and his oxygen saturation level had also dipped, prompting hospital authorities to shift him to an intensive care unit.

Jain was shifted to the ICU of the Max Hospital from the RGSSH, a city government facility, after his condition deteriorated.
